News of UFC taking its events to a private island is out. And a lot is being said, both for and against the idea. In a recent interview, Israel Adesanya commented on his feelings on the plans Dana White and the UFC have.

Israel Adesanya was very open to the idea. Keeping in mind the global pandemic situation, he said, “Yes, Definitely! Kudos to the UFC, not just Dana. He’s leading the charge. But kudos to everyone else, the security and the other staff. Because to get that done, they’ll have to be under strict guidelines to make sure everyone’s health is paramount when it comes to this COVID-19 stuff. I’m impressed. If it happens, and it’s not like Fyre Festival, it could go smoothly.”

Israel Adesanya has huge respect and expectations from the UFC and its staff. Bringing together an event of this caliber is a huge achievement. Adesanya said, “If it goes smoothly, this could possibly be the second coming of the Forrest Griffin vs Stephan Bonnar fight. Because by list measures itself, it makes for a crazy fight. But the fact that it’s going to be the only live-action sport happening right now. Like that’s Ballsy. And if they pull it off and no one catches corona, kudos to them! Amazing!”
