The Nevada State Athletic Commission has suspended all sporting activity according to reports.
The MMA Promotion had planned to move some of its events to the Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, any ban will mean that is no longer a suitable option and they will need to find alternative venues.
Per Mike Coppinger of the Athletic the Nevada State Athletic Commission held an emergency meeting yesterday and provisionally banned all events up until March 25. He believes the extension of that ban is just a formality, writing on Twitter he said.
“Sources: Nevada State
Athletic Commission has suspended all combat sporting events indefinitely due
to #COVID?19. Canelo-Saunders can’t be scheduled
until ban lifted. Affects UFC events relocated to APEX (March 28 & April
11) along with PBC (March 28) and Top Rank (April 11)”
“Nevada commission held an emergency meeting today and suspended all activity until March 25. That’s when the next scheduled meeting is. Simply procedural. The suspension of activity will be officially extended at that March 25 meeting. The question now: when will it be lifted?”
Despite the latest news UFC President Dana White remained adamant all events would continue, unless the government intervenes.
“We’re working to find new
locations, but the fights will go on. They will continue,” White said on ESPN.
“We’re not stopping. We will keep finding a way to put on the fights. I’m in
the fight business. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years, and this stuff
happens to me every weekend. I’m used to this stuff, not at this level
obviously, but this is what we do. We always make sure that the fights happen
and they’re going to continue to happen.
Will
UFC be able to find alternative venues to house their events?

In this main event we have catchweight bout after Kevin Lee missed weight by 2.5lbs for his fight against Brazilian submission specialist Charles Oliveira.
Lee returns to the cage for the first time since beating Gregor Gillespie with a highlight reel headkick KO. Oliveria looks to extend his winning run to seven and continue the best form of his UFC career. Check out our staff predicitons below.
Ryan Galloway: UFC Fight Night Brasilia’s main event showcases a lightweight matchup between Kevin Lee and Charles Oliveira. Oliveira has been on a tear lately however I believe Kevin Lee will be too much for him. I think Kevin Lee’s striking will be the difference in the bout and that he will be able to find the finish on the feet. (Prediction: Kevin Lee)
Cole Shelton: Kevin Lee vs. Charles Oliveira is a fascinating fight. In this one, I think Oliveira’s path to victory is to submit Lee but with Lee’s takedown defense I believe he’ll be able to keep to standing like he did with the Gillespie fight and piece up Oliveira for the entire fight and eventually rock him and for Lee to earn a third-round TKO. (Prediction: Kevin Lee)
Jordan Ellis: This main event match-up will ultimately come down to size in my opinion. Kevin Lee is in desperate need of the 165lb division as one of the bigger guys at lightweight. Charles Oliveira on the other hand has fought at 145lbs and isn’t the most built guy at this weight. I expect Lee to use his size, dictate the fight and avoid the nasty submission game of his Brazilian opponent. Ultimately, I expect Lee to get the stoppage win and snap the long winning run of his Oliveira. (Prediction: Kevin Lee)
Who do you thin will take the UFC Brasilia main event?
