Dana White: UFC 249 to take place at secret location, trying to secure private island for future fights
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/dana-white-ufc-249-secret-location-private-island-future-fights
Dana White insisted Monday UFC 249 will happen and said he is days away from securing a private island to host other future fights amid the coronavirus pandemic.
White told ESPN the place he has for the April 18 fight is secured for two months and he plans to have weekly fights after the event. He added that the private island could possibly host international fights.
I'll tell you this, I'm this close to getting a deal done, White said. So this place where this fight is going to be on April 18 I have locked up for two months, so I'm going to continue to pump fights out. I also secured an island. I've got an island. The infrastructure is being built right now. We're going to do all of our international fights on this island.
Theres a lot of creepy people out there, and when they find out the location, they will start attacking the location and making phone calls, he said. So this keeps the creeps at bay.

A HERETIC I AM
(24,362 posts)Plenty of people seem completely willing to voluntarily take part. The "rich fuck" isn't holding a gun to anyone's head.
I don't see why they just don't go ahead and get rid of all the bullshit pretense and start up Roman style Gladiator contests again. Just go ahead and allow these people to kill each other.
I swear it would be a huge hit, particularly in this country. Humanity hasn't evolved as much as we would like to think.
mr_lebowski
(33,643 posts)And this is highly irresponsible.
That's why I'm calling him out for proposing this.
I guarantee you he's also thinking 'there's no other sports on, so I'm going to make a KILLING if I put on PPV fights right now'.
He'll also probably low-ball the lower-level fighters cause he knows they need money. Not that he doesn't already do that, but it'll be worse right now I'd bet.
Not a fan of UFC, or White.
A HERETIC I AM
(24,362 posts)And not only am I no fan of this fucking bloodsport, and let's be honest, that's all it is, I couldn't give two shits about it. I don't think I've ever watched more than 30 seconds of a match, and that was because the pub I was in had it on every single TV set.
But again, whether or not he needs the money, it does say something about our culture that there are so many people who train vigorously in order to get the chance to legally beat the shit out of someone else.

You would think that people would wake up when the Leader of GB was in ICU and realize that this is not just a poor man's disease. If they don't get it, I hate it....

This rush to normality has koolaid stains all over it.

Trumps rallies followed wrestling scripts to a T.
