Arizona’s statement on a potential UFC event in that state on May 30:
“Arizona's Boxing & MMA Division has been contacted by UFC expressing interest in Arizona for a May 30 live event. The UFC has submitted their health and safety procedures that were used in prior events requiring social distancing and other enhanced safety protocols. At the same time, our office has developed draft guidelines in conjunction with our Chief Ringside Physician, Dr. Ken Ota, along with guidance from Dr. Don Muzzi of the Association of Ringside Physicians. The draft guidelines will be submitted for appropriate review before any live event can take place. The Division is working tirelessly to bring combat sports back to Arizona in a socially responsible fashion keeping all participants safe for a strong and cautious return.”
