By Joe Otterson TV Reporter Entertainment conglomerate Endeavor’s mixed martial arts business took a hit last week with the cancellation of the UFC 249 pay-per-view and all other upcoming fight cards due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

However, UFC president Dana White says that the company has found a way to move forward with its live promotions. “We built the APEX facility next door just in time to save the day from this pandemic,” White said in an email statement to Variety Tuesday night. “Live fights will be produced out of there starting next month and for the foreseeable future.” The UFC’s APEX facility is located in Las Vegas, Nevada, next door to the organization’s headquarters.
