  • Presiden UFC Dana White bersikukuh menyelenggarakan UFC 249 di Florida, Sabtu (9/5/2020). 
  • Dana White ingin UFC menjadi pionir dan mendobrak kebuntuan. 
  • Pandemi Covid-19 membuat banyak agenda olahraga tertunda hingga mengganggu finansial orang-orang yang terlibat.  

SKOR.id - Presiden Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White bersikukuh ingin menggelar UFC 249 di Jacksonville, Florida, Amerika Serikat (AS), Sabtu (9/3/2020). 

Sempat dikritik karena dianggap hanya mementingkan uang, Dana White membantah. Ada hal besar yang menjadi dasar niatnya itu, yakni keberanian untuk mendobrak kebuntuan.

"Harus ada seseorang yang berani untuk menjadi yang pertama," kata Dana White dalam sebuah wawancara bersama Yahoo Sports dan dilansir bleacherreport.com.   

"Satu hal tentang UFC, kami selalu bersedia mengeluarkan uang dan pergi ke luar negeri untuk memastikan semuanya aman. Bisa dibayangkan pengorbanan yang kami lakukan."

Saat ini, dunia dihantui virus corona (Covid-19) lantaran sudah menjangkiti ratusan negara. Kondisi tersebut mengganggu banyak aspek kehidupan, tak terkecuali olahraga. 

Keputusan untuk membatasi aktivitas masyarakat yang diambil oleh nyaris seluruh pemimpin negara turut berdampak pada banyaknya jadwal olahraga yang terhenti.

Seluruh pengelola kompetisi olahraga tak berani memulai lagi kalender yang tertunda. Padahal, finansial orang-orang yang terkait di dalamnya makin terganggu.

Atas dasar itulah, Dana White ingin UFC menjadi pendobrak kebuntuan. Pria 50 tahun itu ingin olahraga dunia bangkit dan menyampaikan pesan optimisme.

"Kami melakukan ini untuk semua orang. Petarung yang ingin kembali merasakan persaingan dan para pekerja yang ada di dalam institusi ini," kata Dana White. 

UFC tak lagi menggelar pertarungan besar sejak UFC Fight Night 170 di Brasilia, Brasil, 17 Maret 2020 yang dilakukan tanpa penonton.  

Jika akhirnya UFC 249 berhasil terselenggara di Jacksonville, Florida, AS, Sabtu (9/5/2020), ini akan menjadi yang pertama setelah vakum lebih dari satu bulan.
