While the coronavirus pandemic has been orchestrating chaos all around the world, the shifting sands of the uncertainty of the pandemic failed to sweep away UFC action. UFC chief Dana White was adamant about hosting live events, and did just that with UFC 249 and the subsequent events that followed. Back when the future of UFC 249 was up in the air, Dana White had floated the idea that he would host fights on a private island.
While that thought was given a lot of attention, it eventually fizzled out, before Dana White decided to resurrect the idea of UFC Fight Island. UFC 251, therefore, will be the inaugural Fight Island event, Dana White confirmed this month. There are reportedly going to be four UFC Fight Island events in the entire month of July. UFC 251 ‘Usman vs Burns’ on July 11, UFC Fight Night 172 on July 15, UFC Fight Night 173 on July 18, and UFC Fight Night 174 on July 25. The full fight card for all the UFC Fight Island events has now officially been revealed.
