The coronavirus pandemic continues to pose problems for the UFC’s calendar. With no signs that the Pandemic slowing, either in the US or Brazil, it appears the promotion has been forced to scratch their upcoming card scheduled for November 14, in Rio de Janeiro.
Per Combate’s report, the UFC cancelled their reservation they had for the traditional Arena da Barra. The venue has previously held a number of UFC events, and most recently saw Jessica Andrade knock out Rose Namajunas for the strawweight title—at UFC 237, back in March 2019.
Because of the cancellation, 2020 looks to be the first year since 2011 in which the world’s largest MMA organization will have only held a single event in Brazil.
