“Who knows how sports will change after this”- Dana White

“It’s gonna be interesting how this thing plays out over the next year or so. Which is exactly why the investment into fight island makes so much sense for me.

Much has been said about the island, with location undisclosed at the moment. Given the various travel restrictions put in place, Dana White sees this as a viable option for future fights.

White made a startling revelation when quizzed about a potential fight between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov. He revealed he was apprehensive in setting up the fight, given the number of cancelations the ill-fated match up has witnessed. The fight was scheduled for UFC 249 but was called off for the 5th time as Nurmagomedov unable to travel for the same.
