2020 has been a year like none before in the history of mankind. Due to the surge of the global pandemic, i.e. the coronavirus, everything including all the sporting events were stopped at one point in time. The UFC was the first to bring any sort of sports back for the public.

Since then, the promotion has done some exclusive business and been a major success in this cursed year. Many experts and media personalities doubted the restart of the UFC, labeling it as unsafe and unworthy of the risk. But bashing all those opinions, the company has managed to show its elite administration.

UFC President Dana White took to Instagram to post a rewind of 2020 after the pandemic struck. It’s a fascinating watch for UFC fans.
