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.

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.
