UFC’s Dana White reveals ‘Fight Island’ location in Abu Dhabi, UAE

Ultimate Fighting Championship boss Dana White says he’s ready to press forward with his long-planned “Fight Island” idea, which will now supposedly take place in the United Arab Emirates next month under strict coronavirus prevention rules.White has been talking about a private island for holding fights since April, when he first floated the idea while planning the UFC’s comeback from COVID-19. His original plan fell through, but he’s now held a few events at empty stadiums in Florida and Las Vegas, and is ready to make “Fight Island” happen soon — although the destination won’t be as tropical as some expected.
