Not to mention the spread that could have occurred at/during and after this event. Not to get too much into the pandemic but there have been several super spreader events that have led to whole cities/regions/countries being infected. God forbid the UFC be the root of that.
This is silly. Super spreader events don't happen in extremely controlled environments where everyone involved is tested. I would be a lot of money that the UFC had plans in place to test every fighter, coach, ref, judge, etc. multiple times at the event (before they arrived and before they left).
The WWE is still holding events. Do you think they're being irresponsible? I just saw a clip of Gronkowski jumped onto a pile of almost ten dudes
In these controlled environments, the risk can be significantly reduced. Frankly, I don't see how it would be much riskier than going to the grocery store, which we pretty much all are doing.
