Dana White Fight Island UFC

Ever since the announcement of ‘Fight Island‘ following the cancellation of UFC 249 on April 18th, many UFC fans and athletes have been dying for more info. Where is the Island? When will it be ready? Can I fight?

In an interview with Jon Anik on ESPN, Dana gave us all a much needed update on the current status of ‘Fight Island’ stating that the Island will most likely be ready for events from June. Ever since the coronavirus outbreak, Dana White has been moving heaven and hell to keep sports entertainment going. This ultimately led to Dana and UFC co-owner Ari Emanuel purchasing a private island where they could host UFC events.

The island would not only allow athletes to compete without any risk of contracting the virus but would also have training facilities much like the UFC Performance Institute. This would allow the athletes to train and do their weight cut on the island, making the process as efficient and practical as possible. (H/T Mmafighting.com)

Until this Friday, this was all the information we had surrounding ‘Fight Island’ forcing Anik to ask the question that’s been on everyone’s lips…

“Where is ‘Fight Island’?”

“Literally this morning I was driving to work and I was talking to Ari and Ari goes ‘how many people a day ask you where ‘Fight Island’ is?’ cause I guess people are blowing him up asking him where ‘Fight Island’ is,” White answered. “People are very intrigued about ‘Fight Island’ and I’m excited for it.

“Right now, we’re looking at June and we’re literally going to knock out three or four fights there in a month. I’m going to stay on the island for a month. I’m going to go stay there. I’ll probably be there the whole month of July.”

With there not being any official cards announced for June other than that of UFC 250 (set to take place in Los Vegas on the 6th June), many are suggesting that a potential flyweight match up between Paige VanZant and Amanda Ribas could be one of the many fights that’ll take place on ‘Fight Island’.

Well, with the recent success of the three Jacksonville fight nights, I think it’s safe to say, we are all hungry for more fights.

Who would most like to see compete on ‘Fight Island’?

UFC strawweight prospect Paige VanZant is proving to be one of the most popular young fighters today. The 22-year old Team Alpha Male star may be short in the tooth in terms of fights, but her notoriety is growing. Since joining the UFC in 2014, ’12 Gauge’ has gone 4-1 with only one win going to the judge’s scorecards. In her last bout ‘PVZ’ scored one of the most beautiful knockout finishes in recent memory.

Facing Australia’s Bec Rawlings at UFC on FOX 21, VanZant hoped to bounce back from the 2015 loss to Rose Namajunas. Since that time ’12 Gauge’ had starred in the popular TV show ‘Dancing With The Stars.’ Was the bright faced starlet going to leave her fighting career behind? With the lights and cameras beckoning, VanZant put a stamp on her comeback. After a nine-month absence, ‘PVZ’ wrecked Rawling’s two-fight win streak with a switch kick knockout.

She’s Back!

The win did more than prove VanZant still wanted to fight, it showed she is back and better than ever before. Winning her first performance of the night bonus of $50K, ’12 Gauge’ now has a number of interesting fights to look ahead to. That said, she’s not done with the glitz and glamour just yet. Following the success of her stint on ‘DWTS,’ VanZant is keeping her thumb in a few pies.

Popular TV magician Criss Angel has scooped up ‘PVZ’ for an appearance on his show. Here’s a little sneak preview of his trick featuring VanZant. In a twist on an old classic, VanZant gets split, with a ‘walking dead’ feel. WARNING: It gets a little graphic, but hey, it’s all fake, right?

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of medical suspension Paige VanZant receives after being torn in half like that. Stay tuned for the news of VanZant’s next UFC fight as and when it is announced.
