UFC’s Coronavirus response: London card not cancelled, two shows moved to Las Vegas

After a very lengthy wait, the UFC has finally made some decisions on upcoming events as the world deals with the coronavirus pandemic.

Dana White confirmed on ESPN’s SportsCenter that this Saturday’s Fight Night card in Brasilia will proceed as planned, but without fans. It will also start two hours earlier than originally scheduled, so the prelims will begin at 3 PM ET/12 PM PT and the event will be simulcast on ESPN+ and ESPN television. ESPN’s schedule has certainly been cleared up following the suspension of the NBA and MLS regular seasons, as well as the cancellation of the NCAA basketball tournaments.
