Dana White gives more details of UFC ‘Fight Island’, including an ‘Octagon on the beach’

UFC president Dana White did an Instagram Live chat with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto today, and he dropped a ton of news about the near future of the UFC.

The promotion will be holding three cards in a week, on May 9th, 13th, and 16th. And a card on the 23rd is likely, but not finalized. White was coy about where the fights were actually taking place, but a UFC press release that came out minutes later confirmed that they will go down in Jacksonville, Florida.

But perhaps the most fun news that came out of the chat was White sharing more details of his proposed “Fight Island” for international fighters to compete on.
