Media Dana White on his Instagram:I'm not telling anyone the location

Which athletic commission will allow it? I seriously don't know how it works without a commission so if anyone can explain it id appreciate it.
 
Chances are he doesn't, so probably he's hoping he can find one and just being quiet about it. It doesn't make ANY sense to not tell your fighters about it, let alone your biggest start/main attraction.


What about if there is a possibility of that location being shut down to media backlash? The same that’s been going on for the last two weeks in regards to the UFC holding an event ?
 
I hear Saudi Arabia has really nice basement parties....
 
I keep hearing reservations... While true, they are a sovereign nation, most try to appeal to their communities and aren’t going to give a big FU to have a MMA fight with no audience. The casinos in San Diego have been closed for weeks. I know most in Vegas too.
 
Lots of locations but can’t pinpoint to a single location.

Sounds like a cruise ship..
 
International waters. No commission. Judges working under the table watching via Skype...Adelaide Byrd, Joe Soliz, and Cecil Peoples. Mario Yamasaki reffing all fights for free to get back in Dana’s good graces. Stitch Duran working both corners of every fight on the cheap. Dana’s sex tape stripper friend will be the ring girl. Goldy making a comeback in the booth. Dr Drew or Dr Oz ringside physician. The win bonus will be 1 coronavirus test. If you lose you’re fucked. It’s gonna a-fuckin-mazing.

I can see why he’d keep it quiet. But, I honestly don’t think he actually has a location. I’d expect Khabib, and Tony to be traveling if their was a location set.
 
There's no way it's happening in the states, not sure what the need for secrecy would be even if it was
 
So with everything going on does Dana really have a location or multiple set up that are in place and can actually accommodate for this event?

I believe he does and does not want to disclose due to media backlash and the possibility the media/ law could have it shut down. Thoughts?

I'm sure he has a couple of places lined up but as of now every day is something different. Countries are closing borders, states are shutting down, he doesn't know what it's gonna be like by April 18th, nobody does. So, if he leaks the location he has in mind, then media will go nuts about it, harassing those involved who would allow the event, etc. You will hear about location literally a few days beforehand. At the earliest you hear about it the Monday before the fight.
 
If the location is in the states and Khabib doesn’t have sufficient time to travel, deal with jet lag and recover I doubt Khabib will accept.
 
He needs to give a few million to the president of one of the Caribbean island nations and be done with it.
 
Not telling anyone the location... including Khabib and Ferguson. If one doesn't show up they ducked the fight.... :)

is there really a reason why they need to know the location in this circumstance? is it going to make any difference to them? if Dana said to them "Be here in vegas on april 16th and we will fly you to the location of the fight" would that change anything?

Let's assume Dana is telling the truth and these fights are happening.

The reason is keeping it secret is so that the media won't draw attention to it. As long the media is unable to pressure whatever commission is sanctioning this they will let the fights go on. The important thing is that those commissions avoid bad PR.

According to Dana, he has multiple locations. Assuming that he is telling the truth what is likely is that he probably has some studios set up in some warehouses in different locations to minimize the amount personnel that needs to be in a single area that way the UFC can adhere to corona regulations. He films the fight in different spots and switch from location to location. This also acts a contingency in case complications in one area prevent the fight from happening.

It is also possible that the fights are being pre-recorded and he is going to air them as they are live. This is another way he can have fights and still abide by regulations put out. He could have one fight wait an couple hours then bring the people for the next fight. Possibly spread the fights over a week and air them as if they all happened on the same day.

Another option to consider is that the location is right over the border in Mexico. Dana could easily bribe some Mexico commission to sanction it without running a foul for any US laws. He may be keeping it quiet to cover up the shadiness.

Or Dana is lying to us and is just pushing these rumors in order to stay in the headlines. Who the fuck knows.

it does make sense not to tell the fighters when you want to keep it a secret....

youre not sure what the need for secrecy would be? lol ....... look at all these people chomping at the bit about not knowing the location....these arent the people that are hopeful for the fight to happen...these are people that are salivating at the chance to join in the socialjustice frenzy that would/will ensue as soon as a venue is named.....the pressure is going to be immense on whatever location it ends up being if the fight happens....the pressure on the UFC will be huge as well...people whining and complaining that they are even having such a thing in times like these! lol
 
249 should have been cancelled. Instead there is a secret location that the fighters don't know about two weeks out from the fight in the middle of a pandemic.
Dana has put the onus on the fighters to show up wherever he chooses on the last minute and risk their safety. If a fighter does not want to go through with it then they get called out for it.

Of course you have a group that doesn't give a shit about anyone else but themselves and just want to see them fight no matter what.

You are a bit of drama queen. Arent you?
