Face coverings, check-ins part of safe return to crowds at upcoming UFC events

April 23, 2021 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

The UFC announced earlier this week that O2 Industries will provide face coverings to fans attending UFC 261 and 262.  The events will be the first to have capacity crowds in the arena.  The masks will be free of charge. This is in addition to the company partnering with Clear for use at this Saturday’s UFC 261.

In addition, the UFC and O2 Industries will be donating 5,000 Tactical Respirators to the American Red Cross. 

Clear produces Health Pass, a free, mobile experience that securely connects a user’s verified identity to multiple layers of COVID-19 health information to help reduce public health risk.  At UFC 261, ticketholders will be required to fill out a questionnaire prior to entering the arena. 

Payout Perspective:

You may have noticed that O2 Industries is also sponsoring this event’s Embeddeds.  The extra measures of offering face masks and mobile check-ins seemingly provide some level of safety at a time when COVID-19 exposure rates are still high despite the availability of a vaccine.

@Josh_HokitUFC You’re gonna cry you were cancelled by the left for “free speech”. And then you’ll post 200 times a day on Twitter until fox and friends invites you on to “tell your story”. And after that you’ll run for congress and your campaign will be centered on white grievance.

This is

Real question. Was this announced or is there an intern somewhere that is taking note of ever fighter’s follow and unfollow?

Ian Garry unfollowed PFL fighter Alexei Pergande after a clip resurfaced of him taking down Garry in sparring:

"Ian Garry is lying about me... I'm not sure why he made up a lie [about me filming him without permission]."
