Mixed martial arts fans are now taking aim at Dana White after Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza tested positive for coronavirus ahead of UFC 249.
In a shocking development on Friday, the promotion has decided to scrap the middleweight clash between Jacare Souza and Uriah Hall for this Saturday’s card as the Brazilian fighter tested positive for COVID-19 along with his two cornermen.
The UFC said the pay-per-view event will go ahead as planned despite Souza’s test result as the remaining fighters in the May 9 card were given green to light to compete in Florida.
“UFC’s medical team examined Souza and his two cornermen and found them to be currently asymptomatic, or not exhibiting the common symptoms of COVID-19. As per UFC’s health and safety protocols, all three men have left the host hotel and will be self-isolating off premises, where UFC’s medical team will monitor their conditions remotely and will provide assistance with any necessary treatment.”
