LAS VEGAS — Fear of the unknown is a real thing, which is why I had butterflies in my stomach as I started the car to head to a Holiday Inn Express across town on Saturday to prepare to cover UFC 250.
I’ve covered literally thousands of fight cards in the past four decades, but this day was like none of them.
First, the alarm went off at 5 a.m.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, events are being held with strict security measures in place and one of the requirements for media wanting to cover them is to pass a COVID-19 test.
