UFC fighter Gilbert Burns is all set to fight in Brazil on Saturday -- despite the coronavirus pandemic -- telling TMZ Sports the whole situation is "weird" but the right call.
Burns will face Demian Maia in an arena with NO FANS -- after UFC president Dana White announced the event would take place as scheduled.
The UFC is taking precautions to limit everyone's exposure -- with the athletes getting dressed and warmed up in a private hotel before heading over to the empty arena to fight.
After the fight, each fighter has been instructed to leave the premises ASAP.
