After gathering in Maine for Thanksgiving, Dana White and his entire family tested positive for COVID-19.
White said on The Jim Rome Show that they went to his place in Maine and someone had it, and they all tested positive for carbon dioxide. The whole family and my family are up in Maine.
White said he is in isolation after experiencing mild symptoms, including the loss of his sense of smell and taste.
The UFC president said that he is staying away from people until he tests negative.
He hopes to attend Saturday's UFC on ESPN 31 event. I will be there if I test negative. I'm going to make sure that I'm clean and able to be around people again, and that's what I'm going to do.
The main event in the bantamweight division will feature Rob Font against Jose Aldo, and will be on Saturday in Las Vegas.
Aldo is a two-time UFC titleholder, while Font is riding a four-fight winning streak at bantamweight.
