No masks needed at UFC 261 - Dana White says media was being 'crazy' about COVID-19

[ForgoTheConsequence]

Despite the on going pandemic, the UFC will be hosting a fully packed event with 15,000 fans in Florida this weekend. Dana White has been constantly fired up about the idea of being “first,” and says UFC 261 will mark one of the coolest moments of his career.

White, who has repeatedly downplayed COVID-19, says he’s truly excited about finally leaving their “bubble” at the UFC Apex center. The UFC President says those were started mainly to prevent fights from falling out and to appease the media anyway.

“The reality is, we had to create a bubble that would be safe, so first of all, the athletes wouldn’t end up with COVID and have all these fights falling out. But the media was being so crazy about the whole COVID thing, you had to make the media feel safe,” White told Yahoo! Sports.
