Following immense hype around it, Dana White has made an official confirmation regarding Fight Island. The UFC President revealed the dates of the events on Fight Island. He also clarified all the major logistics issues regarding the island. Dana also confirmed its location, which was the same as revealed by media reports a few days earlier.

The location of Fight Island was rumored to be in Abu Dhabi. Dana confirmed the same and revealed the exact details about it. Fight Island will be on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. This is the same island where UFC 112 took place ten years ago. Fight Island was conceived to put up events where international fighters can fight. Over time, the hype around it has grown exponentially.

“When this whole thing went down, I was trying to figure out how to do events,” Dana said. “So I started talking to different places and Abu Dhabi was open to it. But Abu Dhabi is one of the strictest places in the world right now with the COVID-19 thing. So they’re gonna put us over there on Yas Island. We’re building infrastructure up there. We have a whole plan on how this thing is going to work. “

Fight Island will host events throughout July. The UFC will have events on 11th July, 15th July, 18th July and 25th July. White has earlier said that he plans on living on the island.
