UFC President Dana White, who is only two days away from putting up the ‘baddest card ever’ at UFC 249, showed signs of going on with the business, despite the pandemic that has brought all of sporting events to a standstill.
What drove Dana go on with the show?
“I’m ready to get back. I think a lot of other people are ready to get back. Everybody is afraid to be first. Realistically, the only guy who is not afraid right now is me,” he said.
“And Vince McMahon,” he added, drawing comparisons.
“I mean, Vince McMahon hasn’t skipped a beat. But what he did was, he found solutions. He found ways to get rid of the crowd. And I’m sure he is doing everything in his power, too, to make sure his guys are safe.”
WWE recently held its latest edition WrestleMania, the ‘grandest’ of all PPVs, but behind closed doors.
