Florida - Ultimate Fighting Championship matches will return May 9 with the first of three cards in Jacksonville, Florida to be arranged without onlookers, UFC president Dana White reported.
Limitations due to the coronavirus pandemic had forestalled UFC 249 from being organized last Saturday, supposedly at a Native American inborn reservation in California.
Be that as it may, an official request from Florida senator Ron DeSantis fourteen days back made the way for facilitating UFC occasions by announcing fundamental administrations status for "representatives at an elite athletics and media creation with a national crowd… if the area is shut to the overall population."
Thus, UFC 249 will be organized at Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, featured by a break lightweight title session between Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje.
"I can hardly wait to convey some extraordinary battles for the fans," White said. "My group is all set and the warriors are eager to get back in there with these consecutive occasions."
Different occasions will be organized at a similar setting May 13 and 16, all shut to people in general with just fundamental creation staff at the field.
"As we move bit by bit on the way toward monetary recuperation, we are pleased to have these UFC occasions," said Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, calling the UFC occasion plan "protected and reasonable."
It is relevant to recollect that about 960,896 cases were affirmed, remembering in excess of 54,265 passings for United States. The US announced an expansion of 1,900 passings in the previous 24 hours.
