.... Is reintroducing MMA intelligently. I also have to give hats off to Top Rank Boxing who has an airtight bubble around their events. Quarantine before the event, rigorous testing, and if anyone leaves the secure bubble, they are out and cannot re-enter. You will even see masks worn at the weigh-in. Of course, I only say this for the people who enjoy the sports, which I do.
