Across two decades of staging fights in all corners of the globe — from Kansas to Kazakhstan — UFC president Dana White has seen pretty much every imaginable problem arise. He solved most of them, too.
Then came a global pandemic that only further motivated White to run a major card, UFC 249, on April 18 as scheduled. Neither the obstacles nor the critics would stop him, he has promised.
The devil, he knows, is deep in the details however. It’s one reason he won’t divulge the location of the card, the full line-up of fights or the specific safety precautions he has promised.
