UFC should acquire regional matchups, not book new ones on short notice
There are mixed emotions regarding UFC’s decision to continue finding new venues and fights to salvage cards booked over the next few weeks.
Let’s entertain a new perspective though. Whether you agree with UFC’s decision or not, there are still many fighters who want to fight. And many of them are asking their management teams to reach out on their behalf.
This is an email they are sending out to managers and reps about this new card next week. As you can see, they are even open to signing fighters who currently aren’t on the roster to fill it up, as well. pic.twitter.com/qYcYCDvdyo

However, this whole situation is unique, as we have yet to deal with a pandemic in the MMA world. Several popular journalist have tweeted out an email sent to MMA managers regarding UFC looking to sign new talent with UFC London no longer happening in its original location.
Since fighters want to fight and Dana White is adamant to put on a show, UFC shouldn’t just be singing new fighters and booking them next weekend. They should pull from regional cards that were forced to cancel their cards or the ones in jeopardy of not happening.
