The UFC has yet to announce any shows past the triple dip in Jacksonville, but it has been their desire to get back to a full time schedule of events, preferably at their APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, once cleared to do so.
All of the Jacksonville events will be in front of an empty arena due to coronavirus pandemic regulations.
