Jacare Souza is training in his garage for his UFC 249 middleweight scrap with Uriah Hall.<\/p>\n
The coronavirus pandemic is affecting the fight game on multiple levels. The most obvious effect, of course, is the widespread cancelation of fight cards. That said, the fighters competing on cards that have not yet been canceled.<\/p>\n
This is immediately problematic considering gyms are breeding grounds for COVID-19 infection, and that many are closing to combat the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n
Jacare is adapting to this new reality by training in his garage in South Florida.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe continue to train hard because we weren\u2019t told otherwise,\u201d Jacare coach Josuel Distak told MMA Fighting<\/a>. \u201cWe expect this event to happen. We\u2019re training well. The government ordered all gyms to close for two or three weeks but we have our plan B, a gym at \u2018Jacare\u2019s\u2019 house, a garage with mats, and we\u2019ll keep training for those three weeks at \u2018Jacare\u2019s\u2019 garage.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
