The details of the Frevola situation are worth mentioning out loud. Frevola notes despite 2 neg tests and pos antibody test, UFC still won't move forward now out of an abundance of caution.

This is the difficult, but appropriate response. I commend UFC for it. 1/

I was deeply against the planned Apr 18 show. I had reservations, but wasn't explicitly against Jax shows. The APEX shows with NAC protocol is what we were asking for all along.

These shows have the appropriate screens and double checkpoints. 2/

Dana White said the MMA media fought him on getting going, which is somewhat true (depending on one's interpretation of what it means to 'fight' him on this).

As long as shows are run, there is some risk, but we wanted procedure in place we can trust. This *seems* like it.

If White is angry at media, that's certainly his prerogative, but this isn't about reflexively hammering UFC. Nor was it ever about being anti-fighter. This was about getting to a place where we can reasonably trust shows to be run without Covid spread. Well, look around.
