UFC Fight Island octagon looks stunning in these new visuals as fans laud UFC 251 setup

"'Fight Island' is going to happen," Dana White said bang in the middle of April as the pandemic laid waste to all sports. While COVID-19 was wreaking havoc, Dana White outlined a plan to ship all his events off to an island. White's ambitious plans were met with some apprehension, but the UFC chief's words will finally come to fruition on July 12 with UFC 251 being the first of the promotion's Fight Island events. 

UFC 251 will be headlined, finally, by Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal and Yas Island will see two more title fights in the same event. To cope with the travel issues following a global lockdown, Dana White secured the private island in Abu Dhabi and has scheduled four massive events for July. Since the UFC Fight Island news came to the fore, UFC fans have been waiting, rather impatiently, for a glimpse of the arena. Though Dana White had earlier posted video clips of Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, the latest visuals give fans a more concrete idea of what UFC Fight Island is going to look like as combat sports fans applaud Dana White's vision.
