I can’t wait to see what Fight Island is like. I have a feeling it’s going to be incredible. We know Dana White only goes big.
Doing small things isn’t his style at all. With the pandemic sweeping across the world, he needs a place to host foreign fighters. Fight Island is going to be the place that happens.
He’s being very secretive about where Fight Island is located, but that’s okay. He’s a showman after all. He knows how to get people hyped.
With a little more than a month until the first event on Fight Island, I’m sure he’ll continue dropping hints and details as we get closer.
All I know for sure is the UFC has led the way with sports returning during the crisis. Now, we’ll get Fight Island in a month. Go, White, go!
