The guy really is a "maverick "!
Dana White is something all right, not sure that maverick is the right word. I think he has ruined the UFC and the rankings. Reminds me of a modern day Don King and Bob Arum.

I think that's why he got ahold of the island. Maybe whomever has reign over that area doesnt have those rules. It must be out in the middle of nowhere .Are they going to be tested before the fight for the virus or have quarantined for 14 days prior to the fight? Or are they going to social distance during the fight? If not, why is this non-essential business allowed to transpire? I'm not saying that I don't want to see it, but I don't get why there are exceptions allowed. The rules should be the same for everyone.
Or not do it at all. I can wait.White should also test everyone in their camp, everyone in their household if he truly wants to be responsible.
Rose Namajunas is out because a couple of her family members died from COVID-19.

So Disney/ESPN put an end to it. Looks like the island will be used in the future, but to me it doesnt make much sense unless there is a big venue to host it. Having it on a deserted island doesn't seem like it would bring in as much money as having it somewhere like Vegas.
I’m honestly not complaining, after Khabib v. Tony wasn’t happening my interest in the event dropped exponentially, then when Rose was out even more.. Granted Gaethje v. Tony would be great, it’s not what we deserve... This whole thing should’ve been postponed from the start to make it as smooth as possible..
I think Gaethje should fight Conor for #1 spot and we should keep Tony/Khabib for end of summer...
Hopefully Masvidal v. Usman is still a go for July... That’s about the only other fight I’m interested in..
