Well, here we go. California Senator Diane Feinstein has released a statement condemning #UFC249.
"This event would involve dozens of individuals flying to California and driving to a casino for a purpose no one can honestly claim is essential." https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?id=86DFCA03-50FB-4458-ABF5-2D461D66FC07

"I call on Ultimate Fighting Championship and the Tachi-Yokut Tribe to reconsider this event and delay it until a later date. We have to be responsible and mindful of all local, state and federal public health guidelines. Going ahead with this event is not the right move.”
U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein on #UFC249: "At best this event ties up medical resources and sends a message that shelter-in-place orders can be flouted. At worst, participants and support staff could carry the virus back to their home communities and increase its spread."
