White’s post online attracted supporter and detractors who see his announcement as reckless. Florida has been fully reopened since September.
MMA Weekly reported that the event will be held in the VyStar Veteran’s Memorial Area and feature a rematch between welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal among others and two other title fights.
