It has been super tough for the sports world during this COVID-19 situation. There has been some speculation that UFC President Dana White had plans to buy a private island to host UFC 249.

For starters, this was an insane idea! This is a hypothetical turned in real life. In other words, a bio dome where fighters combat? To be honest, it seems like a dream come true! After all of this, it all seemed impossible. Important to realize, there was way too many things that needed to happen.

BREAKING: UFC 249 has been canceled. All UFC events postponed indefinitely, due to COVID-19. Dana White says he was ready to promote the event but things were taken out of his control. Much, much more on this to come.

Dana White (@danawhite) delivered this message to his fighters in the interview. "Don't worry about the financial part of this. You're going to get the fights on your contract. I'm going to make things right for the people who were willing to fight next weekend."
