'I talked to my mother three days (ago). She didn't want me to go fight without (my) father, but I promised her it's going to be my last fight, and if I give my word, I have to follow this'
UFC has withdrawn a bout from Saturday's card in Jacksonville after middleweight Jacare Souza and two of his cornermen tested positive for the new coronavirus, the mixed martial arts promotion said. Brazilian-born Souza was supposed to fight American Uriah Hall at UFC 249, which was originally scheduled for April 18 in New York but postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak.
