“Fight Island” — or UF-Sea as some might call it — could be coming sooner rather than later.
For weeks, UFC president Dana White has been teasing plans to take events to a private island in order to circumvent travel restrictions that have prevented many international fighters from coming into the United States due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In the wake of the pandemic forcing the UFC to largely shut down operations until just the past few weeks, White and UFC co-owner Ari Emanuel devised a plan to build an infrastructure on a private island where events could be held.
