Dana White Says He’s in the Process of Getting Private Island for UFC
Written by SOURCE on April 7, 2020
Dana White really wants the fight(s) to go on despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking to TMZ Sports, the president of the UFC said that he’s “a day or two away from securing” a deal that would allow fights to go down on a private island. “We’re getting the infrastructure put in now so I’ma start doing the international fights too,” White said.
Although he didn’t divulge the island’s location, he did say that fighters would be flown there on private jets. White went on to say that all people involved, from the fighters to staff, would be screened by a medical team to ensure everyone’s safety. There will be no fans on the island for said fights.
