Some UFC 216 fighters hadn’t arrived in Las Vegas, others were already in town when the mass shooting took place on Sunday night on the Las Vegas Strip. Just six days after the tragedy, UFC 216 set for Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena, will take place.

Some were surprised that the UFC card would still take place. Others hope the event will help the city to begin its recovery.
