The UFC Fight Island—located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates—has been described as the safest environment the company has provided its fighters during the coronavirus pandemic by UFC COO Lawrence Epstein.
According to ESPN's Marc Raimondi, Epstein commented on how closely things will be monitored on Fight Island: "It's going to be the tightest bubble that you could sort of ever produce. It's a pretty unique situation on an island with incredible controls over who's coming in and not letting people come back in once they've left."
Raimondi added that Fight Island will include a "safe zone," which will only be available to those taking part in the four UFC events being held on the island in July.
