The UFC is back this Saturday with UFC 249. I like MMA normally, but I'm more pumped for this because we finally get some live sports back.
That said, this is going to be interesting and possibly lay the ground work for other sports returning. They are testing every fighter, corner man, ref, camera guy, and media covering the event. They have put all sorts of precautions into place, and even have portable saunas to help fighters cut weight. I read they are using over 1200 tests to support the three shows they are doing in Jacksonville over an 8 day period.
Here is a good blog on how things are going https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2020/05/ufc-during-coronavirus-behind-the-scenes-jacksonville
Anyone plan on watching? I will be watching for the fights, and following it to see how realistic it is for other sports to come back.
