Pres. Trump congratulates UFC for restarting the sports world after a nearly two-month hiatus.
. Coaches, commentators and camera clicks resonated like never before. Blood, sweat, swollen eyelids and face masks signaled the return of UFC, the first major sporting event to resume since theUFC 249 ushered in a new look for sports, too. One without fans and amid several safety precautions.
Gaethje flipped over the top of the cage and back in following the biggest victory of his career. He then screamed repeatedly. The event also included heavyweight contender Francis Ngannou pummeling another opponent, former NFL defensive end Greg Hardy winning for the sixth time in eight fights and former welterweight champion and fan favorite Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone losing his fourth straight.
The mixed martial arts behemoth will hold three shows in eight days in Jacksonville, where state officials deemed professional sports with a national audience exempt from a stay-at-home order as long as the location is closed to the public. White didn’t want to postpone any fights. He tried to host the event on tribal land in California and still hopes to create a “Fight Island” for future cards.
The cage floor was disinfected between bouts, and the padded parts of the octagon were wiped down between rounds.
