The UFC in Brazil is starting now on ESPN. The fighters are not being tested for COVID-19. They will get blood and sweat and spit and snot all over each other in the Octagon, and then they will fly home, to many different countries. It is irresponsible of the UFC to do this.
Dana White aiming for fights at UFC Apex in Las Vegas on May 23

Never watched Justin Gaethje (or Tony Ferguson) fight? Prepare for an all-out assault
https://sports.yahoo.com/never-watc...-prepare-for-an-allout-assault-181024432.htmlJustin Gaethje was an NCAA Division I All-America wrestler at Northern Colorado in 2010, though you wouldn’t know it by watching him fight in MMA.
In six UFC bouts, he’s attempted exactly one takedown. He’s not coming to grapple or slow the pace or do anything other than blitz out of the corner and throw as many strikes as he can.
Gaethje stands on the precipice of the biggest fight of his life, when he meets No. 1-ranked Tony Ferguson in the main event of UFC 249 on Saturday at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, for the interim lightweight belt.
