You’d think with all the time on the internet we’ve had recently (#StayAtHome, #StayOnTheWeb) that we’d have heard about this, but it’s our first time learning that an island off of Abu Dhabi has been transformed into an all UFC all-the-time, COVID-safe arena. According to TMZ, it took\u00a0400,000 man-hours and 350 tons of metal\u00a0 to create a\u00a0main fight arena,\u00a0the beach Octagon<\/strong>\u00a0and other facilities necessary to host all of the upcoming UFC events – along with some super rigorous testing to keep fighters and staff healthy and safe.

Dana White<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0just dropped the hype video showing the tremendous effort it took to bring Fight Island to life in just a few months … transforming part of Yas Island in Abu Dhabi into a city custom-built for the UFC.<\/section>\n
Of course, Fight Island was created to provide a safe place for the UFC to host fights in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic — so, there was clearly an emphasis on testing facilities on the premises.<\/section>\n
White has said all fighters and their crews will undergo 5 rounds of testing — starting with tests before they board their flights to Yas Island.<\/section>\n
Once\u00a0on the island<\/strong><\/a>, there will be 3 more rounds of testing before the fights — and then a final post-fight test before fighters are allowed to fly home.<\/section>\n
There is a massive security presence on the Island to keep things safe — and Dana White is fired up!<\/section>\n
“I can’t wait to get there,” White said.<\/section>\n
The\u00a0first event<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on Fight Island is UFC 251 on July 11 — featuring some crazy bouts … including\u00a0Kamaru Usman<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0vs.\u00a0Gilbert Burns<\/strong>.<\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n
