Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will continue to hold its scheduled events, even as other sports leagues have suspended their seasons, Yahoo Sports reports. It appears that the league’s boss made the decision after talking things over with President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
Across the world, sports leagues are either canceling or postponing their seasons, or holding games inside arenas without spectators. Here in the United States, four major sports leagues that would otherwise be holding games right now — the NHL, MLB, NBA and MLS — have all suspended their seasons until further notice. Similarly, the NCAA has canceled the hugely-popular March Madness college basketball tournament.
However, on Thursday night, UFC boss Dana White stopped by ESPN’s SportsCenter to confirm that, in his league, it’s business as usual, albeit with some small exceptions.
