  • Gelaran UFC 261 mendapat kritikan dari berbagai pihak karena menghadirkan 15.000 penonton langsung di area tertutup.
  • Adam Hill dari Las Vegas Review-Journal pun menyampaikan kritik tajamnya lewat tulisan yang kemudian direspons oleh presiden UFC, Dana White.
  • Berdasar pantauan, banyak yang tak menggunakan masker dalam kerumunan penonton yang menyaksikan laga UFC 261.

SKOR.id - UFC 261 menggelar 13 duel di VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, Jacksonville, Florida, Amerika Serikat pada Minggu (25/4/2021) pagi WIB.

Ajang UFC 261 menjadi sorotan tersendiri di Negeri Paman Sam karena turut menghadirkan 15.000 penonton secara langsung dalam satu arena tertutup.

Langkah tersebut lantas menuai kritik dari beberapa pihak karena dianggap terlalu berisiko di tengah kondisi pandemi Covid-19 yang belum sepenuhnya terkendali.

Adam Hill dari Las Vegas Review-Journal (LVRJ) menjadi salah satu yang memiliki kekhawatiran itu dan mengungkapkannya dalam tulisan terkait penyelenggaraan UFC 261.

"Setidaknya ada 15.000 orang bersedia menanggung risiko kerusakan permanen atau kematian dengan menghadiri acara olahraga secara langsung," tulisnya di awal laporan.

Tulisan Adam Hill itu tampaknya telah menyinggung presiden UFC, Dana White, yang bereaksi keras lewat Instagram dan menyebut LVRJ sebagai koran yang buruk.

Dana White pun mengunggah gambar potongan artikel dari LVRJ sembari melontarkan unek-uneknya lewat tulisan di kolom caption.

"Selama pandemi, kami tak memecat satu pun karyawan. Kami bekerja dengan otoritas di Nevada dan seluruh dunia untuk menggelar semua ajang secara aman," ujarnya.

"Kami akan menggelar laga terbesar tahun ini dengan Conor McGregor pada 10 Juli nanti untuk membantu menbangkitkan geliat kota ini."

"Namun, inilah cara LVRJ menunjukan dukungan untuk membangkitkan bisnis lokal. Persetan dengan LVRJ dan jangan repot-repot datang ke duel pada Juli nanti," tulisnya.

Sementara itu, rangkaian laga UFC 261 yang menampilkan 'sajian utama' Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal bisa dibilang menuai sukses besar.

Bangku penonton tampak penuh terisi dan beberapa di antaranya diduduki oleh pesohor, dari Tom Brady (atlet american football) hingga Jake Paul (YouTuber).

Pada sisi lain, kekhawatiran LVRJ juga tak bisa disalahkan sepenuhnya apalagi banyak penonton yang hadir langsung di UFC 261 terlihat tak menggunakan masker.

Padahal, angka penambahan kasus positif Covid-19 di Amerika Serikat dalam dua hari terakhir masih menembus angka lebih dari 50.000 kasus.

Secara global, tren penularan Covid-19 pun cenderung kembali meningkat dalam beberapa hari terakhir dan memaksa sejumlah negara untuk menerapkan lockdown.
