Morning Report: Joe Rogan reacts to Dana White’s plans for ‘Fight Island’: ‘There’s no social distancing in a f*cking cage fight’

UFC 249 is set to take place in just nine days and there are still a number of questions surrounding the event. Where will the event take place? How will fighters be transported to it? Will fighters be tested for coronavirus? And exactly what precautions will the UFC be using to mitigate the spread of coronavirus? Conflicting reports abound for each of those questions making details hard to come by not just for the larger MMA community but for people involved in the event, including the man ostensibly tasked with commentating the event.

UFC President Dana White recently said that Joe Rogan would in fact be calling UFC 249, however, on yesterday’s episode of his Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Rogan admitted that his still has no information about the event outside of Dana White’s statements about buying a private island to showcase fights on.
