The only way to salvage this card is for another fighter to test positive for COVID and then they fight Jacare.
I don’t care if it’s Waterson. They’re fighting.

Sad that Jacare may have to experience this as he's already been through a lot. I'm hopeful he remains asymptomatic.

The UFC has pursued this idea of being the first to bring sports back mostly out of desperation, which I'm having a hard time understanding. From a public relations standpoint, this is a mixed bag. It resurrects old narratives of the promotion as being this outlaw brand that did whatever it wanted, exploiting its workers and risking health and safety, all to appeal to humanity's basest instincts. The UFC has worked so hard to distance itself from that narrative, really from at least UFC 12 back when SEG was running the company. On the other hand, if they pull it off, there will be an entertainment starved fanbase who will tune in and revel in their showing grit and determination to move forward, which is what propelled the fanbase in the early days.

It will be short term rewards at potentially great risk that could lead to long term devastation for the brand. As usual, the ones to bear the lion's share of the risk will be the fighters.

No way he was isolated since Wednesday like they are saying

He had to do some pad work and training with somebody right ? That somebody was out and about in the hotel

He cut weight too . So he must have used a sauna or exercise equipment within the hotel or a nearby facility that was used by multiple other fighters for their weight cut

If you saw the weigh in they had all the fighter pretty much lined up very closely to one another

Also

He used the same scale as everyone on the card


To say this is isolated would be completely ignorant to the fact how quick this virus transmits

May not get any negative tests until after the fights but what happens then .

Come Tuesday morning we find 3 more fighters test positive. Then what?

It would probably be swept under a rug but it would eventually get out and that can't look good for Disney or the UFC brand
The ufc proved each fighter their own sauna.. they shipped 26 miniature saunas to florida

You are not gonna get the virus by touching hands.
oh look guys, one of the world's leading scientists :rolleyes:

why would anyone need to wash their hands regularly if they couldn't spread the disease that way? if Dana White rubbed his eyes with his knuckles he could easily contract it.

Did he rub his eyes? no he didn't. We could all have virus in our hands and what we do ? we go wash our hands.

you got a camera on Dana 24/7? and he didn't wash his hands till the weigh-ins were done presumably, after fist bumping everyone and even touching quite a few fighters in other places, like Rozenstruick on his chest.
