I just read that Dana White has secured a Private Island for two and half months so ESPN and UFC can televised one UFC event a week and will be flying his fighters there with blind folds via private Jet during this pandemic.
The Island which White said he will not say apparently has living quarters and a medical facility but its pretty much empty
The fighters will live there for the two months or something and UFC will bring in a 4 month supply of food during the stay and everyone will be tested for the virus before boarding their flights and during their stay at the island.
Its been cleared up that the private island is for only international events, he is going to put on the US events at the Tai Chi palace indian gambling casino in Lenmore, California.
That's a good plan actually due to the travel restrictions.
Make the fighters sail to the island together on an ancient looking boat.
lol Mortal Kombat
I immediately thought of Enter The Dragon, but yeah Mortal Kombat makes more sense lol
A private island is over kill. You can host the fights and training camps in a rural town in America. Baseball will have no fans at games in Arizona.
If Universities aren't back by the Fall, they could host fights in college basketball gyms while holding the fighters in dorms.

People dissing Eddie Hearn here are idiots. The guy deserves credit for what he's said lately. to host a fight, you need paramedics and equipment on the scene, when they're badly needed elsewhere.
That's the sticking point even for EH, the fact that's it's unethical when paramedics are needed. The british press would go all out on him.

its much easier for white to do this than a boxing promoter...it amazes me how much people forget the structural differences between what white has and what a boxing promoter has when they try comparing
It’s like comparing hitler to Roosevelt

If it was successful then why wouldn’t anyone else do it? People are always scared of the unknown. Once one person does it without too much consequences, then others would not mind following, sometimes you can be a trend setter.
Like the little rats that they are. Absolute fucking rats.
Watch their tunes change after two months, All these boxing promoters will try to copy UFC.
They cant stand losing money
Haha I just posted in the other thread; boxing promoters will swarm Dana for making this happen, then in 3 weeks they'll all scramble to copy his idea verbatim.

I actually think this is really clever and innovative from White. If he pulls this off we have to credit him from a business perspective.
Whether it’s ethically the right manoeuvre is a whole different conversation though...
