“It’s Actually Going to Happen”- Israel Adesanya Reveals Inside News on Fight Island
The Coronavirus epidemic is threatening the progress of institutions like the UFC, WWE, NBA, and more. Therefore, each organization has come up with its own way to cope with the same. And with what Israel Adesanya has to say, it seems like he is 100% behind his promotional banner.
Despite the actual location of the proposed ‘Fight Island’ being a mystery, several fighters are looking forward to taking up the challenge. And understandably so, considering their desire to bring some normalcy in their lives.
Many dubbed the obscure concept of ‘Fight Island’ as nothing more than an urban myth. They claimed that it is something that the UFC President, Dana White, is peddling to attract attention.

However, fighters are exhibiting a powerful desire to perform at the mysterious location. Therefore, it seems like the exotic venue may yet prove to be a reality. Many justify the uncertainty around the location to be nothing more than a closely guarded secret.
Israel Adesanya, while in conversation with ‘Stuff’ confirmed the existence of the geographically ambiguous venue. In addition, he claims that only a select few, other than Dana White himself, are privy to the exact details regarding the site.
“1000 percent. I talked to Dana after UFC 249 (May 9) and he said it would be ready four weeks from then. So it’s almost ready now. My guess is it’s in the Pacific like American Samoa or somewhere like that because that’s still an American colony or an island,” speculates Adesanya when asked about the location.

“If that’s not like some Enter the Dragon type s**t. It’s perfect, it sounds far-fetched, like a movie script, but it’s actually going to happen,” claims Israel Adesanya.
