Dana White shows Fight Island octagon on beach where UFC fights won't happen

"Fight Island baby!!!" White wrote. 

Before anybody gets too excited about the thought of fights occurring outside with a sunset and crashing waves as a backdrop, know that White explained while speaking with TMZ Sports earlier this month that the outdoor venue is for promotional use and training sessions. 

"The fantasy of Fight Island, I'm very worried it will eclipse the reality of Fight Island," White joked at the time. He added that the actual fights will occur inside of an arena, as usual. 

Fight Island, which may also go by the "UFSEA" name trademarked by the promotion last month, officially opens for business on July 11 with the UFC 251 card that features three championship bouts. 

Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman defends his title versus Gilbert Burns. Alexander Volkanovski will defend the featherweight belt against Max Holloway in a UFC 245 rematch. Petr Yan and Jose Baldo will fight over the vacant bantamweight title. 

Henry Cejudo held the bantamweight championship in late May until he "retired" from the UFC.
