The Ultimate Fighting Championship lands in Brasilia, Brazil, this week, but under the most trying of circumstances. It is one of the few sporting events around the globe that is moving forward despite the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Although the local government earlier this week issued a ban on gatherings of more than 100 people, UFC officials decided to move forward with UFC on ESPN+ 28 without a live audience in the 16,000-seat arena. The athletes will be competing in an empty building.
The main event features Kevin Lee vs. Charles Oliveira. Even business as usual was anything but, as Lee missed weight by 2.5 pounds for the bout. He weighed in backstage on Friday with Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) officials saying doctors determined he would not be allowed to attempt to lose any further weight.
The fight will go on after Lee agreed to forfeit 20-percent of his fight purse to Oliveira because of the miss.
The UFC Brasilia co-main event pits Demian Maia vs. Gilbert Burns, two popular Brazilians and two of the best grapplers in the world, against one another.
