Despite more obstacles being hurled in his way, UFC president Dana White insists the promotion’s event schedule will persist in the face of the global coronavirus pandemic. Last week after seemingly the entire sports world came to a halt, the UFC announced multiple adjustments to its upcoming fight schedule. Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 28 was held in Brasilia, Brazil behind closed doors. Next week’s UFC on ESPN+ 29 in London was said to go on as planned (with fans), and upcoming fight cards for Columbus and Portland were shifted to the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
