Thanksgiving festivities might be muted somewhat this year given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but that didn’t stop fighters from celebrating with their immediate families and even finding ways to sneak in some extra training while most regular folks are enjoying a day off.
Even in isolation, your favorite MMA personalities at least took the time to share pictures of friends and family, memes, and wish everyone else a blessed Turkey Day.
Check out how the MMA world celebrated Thanksgiving this year:
