So UFC Had Fights Last Night (Pub Health Angle)

I'm watching Sportscenter this morning.
That tool Dana White is being interviewed.
Anchor asks about the one team member who tested positive.
White said it was a matter of testing volume.
He said they did 1,100 tests in the week or so prior to last night's bouts.
ELEVEN HUNDRED TESTS! IN ABOUT A WEEK!
I still know of no testing centers within 25 miles of our house, and they did 1,100 tests for a tier 2 sporting event!
Really?

I think this was PPV too. So it wasn't even a massive number of eyeballs.
Not exactly Monday Night Football

Ferrets are Cool

about the event or how the "testing" was handled. So, that huckster can say anything he wants and no one will refute him. And, I think HIS testing is limited to taking their temperature.
Not that I would watch those cockfights anyway, even if there wasn't a pandemic going around the world.
