"We need to take our time and come back with the right fights at the right time to try and reduce the [coronavirus health] risk as much as possible while doing premium-level fights that are worthy of the audience,” said Espinoza.

“There is a feeling that the audience is desperate for sports, which is probably true, but we’re not going to take advantage of that and throw a bunch of stuff out there to say, ‘we’re back.’”

Better be back soon, Espinoza.
