Murray Wood: Who's hot... and who's not
Every Friday, Murray Wood takes a look back at the week's news and decides who's hot... and who's not. This week's list ...
Anyone upset that the UFC is actually going ahead with its 249 event in a secret location next week needs to look at the history of this bloodsport, especially under the guidance of promoter Dana White.
The modern Don King will do anything to sell. Any publicity is good publicity for the UFC, so of course White is going ahead with this pay per view.
He has had more than enough headlines in the last few weeks and even without Khabib Nurmagomedov on the card, people will have more curiosity of this card because of the sketchy details.
White won’t disclose where UFC 249 is being held and he even told TMZ there may be plans to buy a private island to ensure UFC events go ahead in the weeks and months ahead. Getting sanctioned fights for the promoter has become a little difficult in this current pause of public gatherings around the globe.
UFC is allowed to spend its money. The fighters are allowed to participate. But if they in any way threaten public health, well, maybe any publicity won’t be good publicity.
