LibanYusuf1 Jesus Christ! When will all this Coronavirus crap stop?

I’m sure he was nice and close with other people at the weigh ins....might see a couple more testing positive as well. UFC didn’t jump the gun or anything ...all Dana White cares about it money.

Good! Idiots.

It’s almost like everyone has COVID.

Ya don't say

FAN590 Wow

And why not report he was one of the only ones that was always wearing a mask he also told em a family member had covid and he may also so they took the proper precautions

Note: was prob getting ready for a pre-fight, Earl Thomas familial-style orgy; and is asymptomatic & feeling more spry then every person reading this headline. This is important to note

So the UFC is about to ruin sports isn’t it?
