UFC president Dana White said Friday that the conceptual "Fight Island" is expected to be up and running in the near future.
According to ESPN's Brett Okamoto, White said Fight Island will be ready to go by June, complete with an Octagon on the beach and hotels for the fighters. White also noted that the island will likely be retired whenever the COVID-19 pandemic passes.
Fight Island is something White has talked about often in recent weeks, and per Tim Burke of Bloody Elbow, he told Okamoto on Instagram Live that it will allow UFC to arrange fights for international fighters during the pandemic.
