2020 has been a tough year for individuals and businesses alike. The outburst of the coronavirus pandemic has meant the death of live events which has obviously affected the UFC as well. Fans have not been allowed for UFC events for the better part of a year now.
During the first half of 2020, sports across the United States canceled their respective seasons. The UFC was forced to do the same. However, Dana White was willing to sit on the sidelines and let his business take a hit.
