Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway sent a message to fans on Monday, urging them to take the coronavirus threat seriously.<\/p>\n

The UFC on Monday announced it has canceled the next three cards it had scheduled in London, Columbus, and Portland (later Las Vegas) due to the coronavirus outbreak which has ravaged the globe<\/a>. The UFC held its event in Brasilia this past weekend in defiance of what other pro sports leagues have done, but ultimately the UFC had no choice but to pull the plus on its next three events despite the fighters wanting to compete. While many fighters are upset the fights were scrapped, Holloway believes it’s the right call.<\/p>\n

Holloway believes the UFC made the correct decision in calling off the fights. In an Instagram<\/a> post on Monday, Holloway pleaded with UFC fans to take the fight against the coronavirus seriously and to make sure we protect those most vulnerable. Check out Holloway’s message below.<\/p>\n
