Dana White securing private island for UFC fights: ‘As of April 18, the UFC is back up and running’
UFC president Dana White on Monday unveiled not only a new main event between Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje, but the entire revamped UFC 249 fight card.
Hours later, White conducted an interview with TMZ Sports, declaring “as of April 18, the UFC is back up and running.”
That wasn’t the only bomb White dropped on TMZ Sports. He said that not only has he secured a venue in the United States where he intends to set up shop for the next two months, but he is also in the final stages of securing a private island where he can hold events with international fighters.
UFC 249: Ferguson vs. Gaethje isn’t a one and done event until the COVID-19 crisis is cleared, White intends for it to be the first event in the remainder of the promotion’s fight schedule for the year.
