**The Release of UFC’s New ‘Fight Island’ First Images**

It’s pretty incredible to think that just a few months ago, the concept of UFC Fight Island was merely a thought that no one believed would materialize. Thanks to Dana White and his team, that idea has become a reality on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, and the venue is truly impressive.

Fight Island has unique regulations in place, requiring travelers to undergo a pre-flight COVID-19 test. Upon arrival, they undergo three more tests throughout the week, with a final check before departure.

UFC fighters and media personnel have started sharing fantastic pictures of the hotel on Fight Island.

One of the tweets reads: “Landed in Abu Dhabi, took Covid test, and quarantined now. Love that there’s a lap pool here, too! #UFCFightIsland”

The fighters and media members seem to be enjoying their time on the island as they share glimpses of their experience through social media posts and tweets. The picturesque setting and top-notch facilities of UFC’s Fight Island are clearly visible in the images being shared.

‪Not the shortest journey, and good lord is it hot, but we made it. #UFCFightIsland coverage coming all week. First, though, it’s a 48-hour quarantine.‬

In a surprising development, Gilbert Burns was pulled from the main event on Fight Island, where he expressed on Twitter, “devastating news” and stated that he is unwell but determined to overcome this challenge.
