Dana White rules out potential Hawaii event for the UFC in the future: ‘We can’t get it done’

Following years of growth and a world tour of unique destinations that have hosted UFC events, Dana White still does not foresee Hawaii as a contender.

The UFC certainly has not shied away from going state-to-state each year and giving many American fans the opportunity to watch the iconic promotion in person.

White claims that Hawaii has been a longtime destination he has attempted to visit, but it is not as easy as fans may assume, while addressing the issue following UFC Kansas City.

“If you think back to the days with me and the Fertitta brothers, we always wanted to do an event in Hawaii… Everybody wants to do the fight in Hawaii,” said White in Kansas City on Saturday.
