What are the odds both of them stay retired?

It's got to be Covid like it is for everyone other sport and non-sport this year.

Yeah, but covid is the story for basically everything. Within the context of MMA, it's how to keep the sport moving while dealing with covid.

The story for me is how the UFC managed to thrive and blossom while the rest of the sporting world floundered. Or that Dana willed his way through all the covid obstacles and pulled it off.
