UFC president Dana White announced Friday the company's new "Fight Island" will debut July 11 amid the coronavirus pandemic.
White told TMZ Sports he's concerned hype surrounding the launch of the special venue could exceed what the company can deliver, though.
"The fantasy of Fight Island, I'm very worried it will eclipse the reality of Fight Island," he said. "The fighters are not going to walk out lined up with tiki torches on the side. I will not be sitting in a big throne overseeing the Octagon and watching the fight."
