UFC superstars give sneak peek of their training to fans amidst coronavirus lockdown

Despite being caged inside their homes, UFC fighters have not given up on their strict regime. In this tough situation of medical crisis, UFC fighters have been spotted supporting the lockdown but at the same time, they have been training intensely inside their homes. Though the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has cancelled almost every major sports event, UFC 249 is still on the verge of taking place as per Dana White (UFC President).

However, other UFC fighters have also been training at their best while they are forced to shelter inside their home with no fights in the coming days.
