Bellator president Scott Coker is worried about the UFC’s relentless desire to get events back up and running amid the coronavirus pandemic. With Bellator having already postponed events from March to June, and a tentative plan to return no earlier than July , Coker strongly believes enormous cautious needs to be taken by anyone attempting to run live events in the current landscape. The UFC has led the charge on that front, with the promotion currently planning a return with UFC 249 on May 9 in Jacksonville, Fla., as well as shows on May 13 and May 16. No other major sports have figured out a way to make events happen, but UFC president Dana White is keen to be the first and is taking excessive measures. Coker hopes those measures are enough, because he said even a slight error could prove catastrophic to the industry as a whole
