Earlier today, the UFC announced they would be forced to postpone their next three scheduled events.
UFC London, UFC Columbus and UFC Portland will all have to take place at an unspecified date in the future after the United States’ President Donald Trump announced people should avoid congregating in groups of more than ten.
Naturally, the news is disappointing to both fans and fighters, some of whom were relying on the upcoming cards to make money. Check out some of the responses from UFC stars below.

Honestly, at this point guys who need to make ends meet should start livestreaming sparring sessions on youtube. I honestly think the hardcores will take whatever they can get. And if nothing else it keeps the spirit of MMA alive kinda . #MMA #UFC
