Dana White is looking forward to putting up four consecutive matches once fight Island is up and running. The coronavirus has disrupted the UFC’s business to a large extent.
The company was forced to postpone many of its domestic and international cards. Some of the cards were delayed just days before the event.
But Mr. White is ruthless when it comes to business. He found a way to put up events without breaking any laws. With almost no live sports in the world, the UFC held three successful events in Jacksonville, Florida. All of them were conducted within eight days.

Moreover, the company is planning to put up an event on May 30 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, they are yet to receive approval from the Nevada Athletic Commission. Even with the backup plans in place, times like these can be unpredictable.
