UFC Returns to Florida With Fans, Kamaru Usman-Jorge Masvidal Rematch

News 18  

When UFC President Dana White brought his mixed martial arts behemoth to Florida last May for a closed-door event, he promised a return trip once the state fully reopened. The card features three title fights, highlighted by a rematch between reigning welterweight champion Kamaru Nigerian Nightmare Usman and Jorge King of Miami Masvidal. Ron DeSantis approved a reopening plan last year that allowed large sporting events to resume in late September, although reduced capacity and limited social distancing were recommended. UFC 261 sold out in minutes, and Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry allowed Duval Countys mask mandate to expire last month.
