There has been a lot of speculation regarding how things will go down once the UFC starts back up. Dana White previously announced that he would be using an island, titled Fight Island, to resume the match calendar post-COVID and now, he has revealed some of the fights we can expect to witness.

In addition to revealing that the island is situated in Abu Dhabi on Yas Island, White revealed some of the headline bouts he’s planning.

According to him, a rematch between Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway will be one of the main draws from the planned fight. Their first face-off ended in victory for Volkanovski, who won by unanimous decision in December 2019.

Another one that people are excited about is Kamaru Osman vs. Gilbert Burns. Their fight will headline UFC 251 on July 11, which is the first of four dates confirmed on Fight Island.

Other events will be held on July 15, July 18, and July 25. 

Two other bouts are planned to christen the island, including Petr Yan vs. Jose Aldo and Jessica Andrade vs. Rose Namajunas. White is also working on several other fights that have not been confirmed yet, including Fabricio Werdum vs. Alexander Gustafsson, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Shogun Rua, and Robert Whittaker vs. Darren Till.

White has a private airline set up to ensure that fighters are safely traveling to and from the island. He also confirmed that testing measures will be adhered to, keeping everybody safe and corona-free.

Dana White has had some pretty revolutionary ideas as president of the UFC. Over the years, White has been able to build the UFC into an enterprise that is worth billions of dollars and is beloved by many. Some of the UFC's fighters have quickly become international superstars and if there is anyone who knows how to market the sport, it would have to be White.

Amid the Coronavirus pandemic, White decided to take matters into his own hands and purchased a private island where he could host international fights. The whole initiative is being called "Fight Island" as still in the process of being set up. Today, White spoke to "Pardon My Take" on Barstool Sports and revealed some very pertinent information. As it turns out, the first fight on "Fight Island" will go down on July 11th.

Jon Jones is one of the best UFC fighters to ever live although his issues with drugs and PEDs have gotten him into trouble in the past. Most recently, Jones has been beefing with UFC president Dana White over a potential fight with Francis Ngannou. Jones wants more money but White won't give it to him. In fact, White said Jones wants $30 million per fight which is something Jones labeled as BS.

Last night after UFC Fight Night, White spoke on the Jones drama and had some strong words of the UFC superstar. Of course, Jones quickly clapped back in the early hours of the morning.

Jon Jones has been through a lot when it comes to the UFC over the past few yearsJon Jones has been through a lot when it comes to the UFC over the past few years although most of it has to do with his reputation in terms of drug use. Jones has been caught red-handed numerous times and while many consider him to be the GOAT, others find his constant antics offputting, to say the least.

Now, Jones has found himself embedded in a feud with Dana White over money. According to Dana White, Jones wants $30 million to fight Francis Ngannou, which is why the fight won't actually end up happening. As White said, Jones wants Deontay Wilder money. Well, Jones didn't like White's comments and immediately lashed out on social media where he accused the UFC president of being a liar and told White to release him from his contract.

If you're a UFC fan, then you know just how much of a controversial figure Conor McGregor is. Of course, he has made quite the name for himself over the past decade thanks to his inspiring abilities in the Octagon. Unfortunately, some pretty horrendous antics along the way have made people lose a bit of respect for the Irishman. Regardless, McGregor continues to be a huge name in the sport, and on occasion, he can be seen arguing with UFC president Dana White.

These arguments have led to a pretty hilarious parody video that was recently shared by White on Twitter. As you can see in the clip below, McGregor is being chased by alligators in a swamp when all of a sudden, he emerges from the water and starts chasing people down. Near the end of the video, a fake McGregor knocks out a man on a scooter, who just so happens to have White's face superimposed over him.

Dana White has been gearing up for a huge event this Saturday that is sure to get all of us in the sports mood. The UFC is finally giving us some athletics to watch in the form of UFC 249 and the big fight is going to be Tony Ferguson against Justin Gaethje. Ferguson was originally supposed to go up against the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov but due to travel restrictions in Russia, Khabib is being forced to stay home.

This unfortunate fact of life has led to a lot of criticism and debate, especially amongst those fighting on Saturday. Now, White is speaking out about Khabib and on First Take today, he revealed who the Dagestanian would fight next. As White explains in the clip below, Khabib is ready to fight and that his next bout would most likely be against the winner of the match between Gaethje and Ferguson.

While some initially thought the UFC's latest development "Fight Island" was their first attempt at b-movie production, the reality was far more epic and typically grandiose. With the coronavirus pandemic currently ravaging the world of professional sports, essentially canceling damn near every league out there, Dana White went and secured a private island solely dedicated to staging fights.

With the construction of "Fight Island" currently nearing completion -- White hopes to have the whole thing up and running by June -- the fighters have already started issuing requests. Yesterday, during an interview with Barstool Sports, Dana revealed that none other than Conor McGregor was chomping at the bit, eager to pick up where his decisive victory against Cowboy left off.

Upon being asked whether McGregor had inquired about his next match, White proceeded to pull out his phone. "He's asking me what date I could fight on 'Fight Island,'" White teased. "And will there be fans? "It sounds like he wants to fight in June. He's asking if there would be fans there. There would not be fans. And the fight would either be mid-June or end of June. But Conor wants to fight."

Though there won't exactly be any fans physically allowed, it's all but guaranteed that the Pay-Per-View numbers would be monumental all the same. At the moment, all that has been revealed is McGregor's desire to fight -- any news about a potential opponent has yet to be unveiled. 

Dana White is one of the biggest sports moguls in the world thanks to his work with the UFC. Meanwhile, Halle Berry has proven herself to be one of the biggest UFC fans out there. Now, the two are linking up as part of the “All In Challenge” which has been sweeping the nation in light of the Coronavirus. Essentially, the “All In Challenge” is a way to raise money while also giving some lucky people an experience of a lifetime. 

White and Berry recently revealed that the UFC will be taking part in the “All In Challenge” in a big way. They are putting together the “Ultimate UFC Experience” which will allow one lucky fan to get to meet Berry and hang out with her. Not to mention, the winner will also get to be inside of the UFC war room where White and his partners discuss potential fights. As White explains, the winner will get to create their own matchup which could become a real-life UFC event.

Not only is this a great initiative for passionate UFC fans, but for those who are most affected by COVID-19, as well. While one fan will get the experience of a lifetime, thousands of people will be helped out by the money that’s raised through the contest.

Regardless of what you may think about the UFC, there is no denying they are doing something great here.

Due to the Coronavirus, all sports have pretty well shut down. This has been terrible for sports fans who have been desperate for a fix of their favorite athletic events. The UFC has been hit especially hard by the shut down although up until a few weeks ago, Dana White was still planning on hosting UFC 249 with the main event of Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje. Of course, ESPN and Disney eventually stepped in and told him not to go through with any of his plans due to safety concerns.

Now, White says the UFC will be back and better than ever before, in May. As he explained to ESPN's Brett Okamoto, White plans to host three UFC events between May 9th and May 16th. The preliminary fights on May 9th will be headlined by none other than Donald Cerrone and Anthony Pettis. As for the main event of Gaethje and Ferguson, White seems to have high hopes that it will be a fight to remember. 

Dana White has been adamant that UFC 249 and every other UFC event would go on as planned, despite the Coronavirus. In fact, White was planning on purchasing a private island so he could host all of his events during the pandemic. Well, none of those plans are going to come to fruition as it has been reported by Brett Okamoto of ESPN that UFC 249 is canceled and all other events are indefinitely being put on hold.

This news shouldn't be shocking to anyone especially when you consider how it was a pipe dream for the events to go on, in the first place. The headline fight was supposed to be Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov but because of the laws in Russia, Khabib couldn't leave the country. They replaced him with Justin Gaethje but fans weren't very excited about it.
