It’s long been wondered where Fight Island would be and now we know. White also announced the July 11 event would be headlined by Kamaru Usman and Gilbert Burns.

Well, there we have it, folks. The biggest question in the entire UFC has officially been answered. Fight Island is in the Middle East, the first event is July 11 and now it’s time to roll.

Like I said, this has been the biggest topic in the sport for a long time, and White has finally given us some answers.

Also, the July 11 card will feature Paige VanZant vs. Amanda Ribas. It’s about damn time VanZant got back in the octagon.

As you all know, I’ve been pushing and pushing for her to step back into the cage after battling some injuries and now it’s happening.

I can’t wait to watch her take on Ribas.
