Since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the UFC has hosted all of its events with no fans. The last time the promotion hosted an event with a fully sold-out stadium was when Israel Adesanya took on Yoel Romero at UFC 248. Since then fans have not been able to watch a live UFC event. 

Dana White has maintained that if he does bring the fans back, it will only happen when he can sell out an entire stadium. Until then, he is happy to do the events without fans. The only exception to his rule was when fans were allowed for all three events on Fight Island last month. However, this was the request put in by the administration in Abu Dhabi, which is why White had to comply.

A ray of hope for Dana White and the UFC

Recently, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that he is ending the statewide mask mandate. He also stated that all businesses could not operate at 100% capacity. This means that Dana White and the UFC can host a live event in Texas with a sold-out stadium. 

White was asked that since he plans on going to Texas as soon as possible if there was a chance that UFC 260 would take palace there. He replied, “Could be, yeah, we’ll see what happens. I’m ready to go, I’d move this one if we could…. I told everybody when this opened up I would be first and we would go first and we will.”
