Morning Report: Dana White says the UFC wants to hold event in Hawaii with Max Holloway but ‘does the tourism board want it?’

It sounds like Dana White is back at the negotiating table, but this time it’s not a disgruntled fighter sitting across from him, it’s the Hawaii Tourism Authority.

Over the years, the question of whether or not the UFC would ever do a show in the 50th State has become increasingly common. The rise of Max Holloway to the UFC featherweight championship as well as the hotbed of talent from the area has only increased the calls for UFC Hawaii. This past weekend White visited Honolulu to see an event as part of his Lookin’ For A Fight series and while there, the UFC President was reminded of how great the atmosphere is in Hawaii.
