Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White will stop at nothing to continue fighting. This includes spending millions of dollars on COVID-19 testing to keep its employees and fighters safe.

White, who helped UFC become the first major sports organization to return from COVID-19 purgatory earlier this year, did everything in his power to keep the UFC machine like it always has. Unfortunately, for global MMA promotion, this was next to impossible in a year of coronavirus cases, last-minute cancellations, and unpredictable travel restrictions.

In return, White and Company have not only created a unique « battle island » in Abu Dhabi to host any battles desired, they also have an extensive COVID-19 protocol to ensure fighters are coronavirus free when entering the octagon.

In a recent interview with TSN’s Aaron Bronsteter, White announced that the UFC has been over 26 since his return in May. 000 COVID-19 tests performed. The cost of this is nearly $ 17 million. A high price that the Aktion gladly pays to keep the train moving.

According to Dana White, the UFC has around 26 so far. 300 COVID-19 tests performed with a positivity rate of 0. 8th%. The cost is near $ 17 million.

Despite this huge amount of money spent on COVID-19 testing, UFC has not consistently achieved perfect results. With coronavirus cases on the rise in America, countless fighters have tested positive in the past few months and major events are cut off as a result. No matter how hard the action tries, it just can’t outperform COVID-19.

Still a 0. The 8% positive rate is pretty amazing considering how many tests have been done in the past six months. It is up to White and the company to continue that success through 2021 as an official COVID-19 vaccine remains pending.

UFC will be back in action tomorrow night (Sat.. . , Dec. . 12, 2020) to host UFC 256 live on ESPN PPV within UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. A flyweight title bout between Champion Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno will serve as the main event.
