Dana White is going to get this UFC show off no matter what.
No matter how dangerous it might be.
UFC president Dana White has promised that his company will be the first major sports organization to return to a normal schedule amidst the coronavirus pandemic, and he is already planning his next event for May 9 at a location to be determined.
White told ESPN on Tuesday that he is deep in the process of building out the card, despite the recent postponement of a UFC 249 pay-per-view event on April 18. The UFC has had to postpone events on March 21, March 28, April 11 and April 18 due to the coronavirus.
In an interview with ESPN late last week, White was adamant that he had a plan in place to hold UFC 249 at Tachi Palace Casino Resort on tribal lands in Lemoore, California, but he said ESPN asked him to “stand down” due to ongoing concerns regarding the coronavirus. ESPN later confirmed White’s comments in a statement.
