For weeks, it seemed like a futuristic premise. These days, though, it's getting to be the new normal.
The UFC's long-awaited "Fight Island" was the site for a second card in five days on Wednesday, when six prelims and five main-card bouts took center stage at Dana White's international combat sports playpen.
ESPN again handled broadcast duties from the Flash Forum on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, where the octagonal promotion will return yet again for another premium cable/streaming extravaganza this weekend.
Similar to the UFC 251 pay-per-view show that debuted the "Fight Island" premise last Saturday, the announce team was led by Jon Anik and Michael Bisping, who were joined this time around by lightweight contender Paul Felder.
