“I booked this location for two months, and we will be holding events there every week for that period. I'm also a day or two away from getting insurance for a private island. I have an island, we are putting all the infrastructure there and we are going to fight with foreign athletes there too. Since I can't bring fighters from other countries into the US, I'm going to take them on a private plane to this island and do the fights there - the fighters will get on a plane at a location where we'll take them and unknowingly embark to where they will be going. From April 18th, the UFC will be back, with weekly events,” he said.

Tests for coronavirus (COVID-19)

To prevent athletes from a possible coronavirus outbreak, the president of the franchise guaranteed that he will carry out several tests on everyone involved in the show.

PUBLICITY:

“It will be the 'Island of Fights'. I think that today (Tuesday) I will be able to get everything right. We will have everything there. We will take the athletes by plane and hold the events. There will be no public, and everyone will be tested in advance as many times as necessary. We will ensure that we have 100% healthy athletes, as well as members of the Athletic Commission, employees, my production team, coaches, judges, referees… Everyone will be safe before, during and after the fights”, he guaranteed.
