A month later the UFC is hoping to start running tournaments on the island
UFC President Dana white after the cancellation of UFC 249 stated that fans will not have to wait long for MMA fights. Functionary hoped that within a month the UFC will return and will hold tournaments on a private island.
“I told all my guys not to worry, because we will have a tournament on the island. Obviously, we organize it. We have created the necessary infrastructure and launched it. Closer to the tournament I will start to book the fights and tell the guys to ready. Plus I can deliver soldiers to the place before, and they will have the opportunity to train on the island.
To do it, we need about a month. After this time I arrange them and the guys will be able to start training on the island. I am sure that in a month people will be ready to leave their homes to go to train on the island. We will do everything and will have a tournament. I could hold it next week, but it turned out the way it did. See you next month, “said white.
