Dana White to @bokamotoESPN on ESPN’s IG Live: “We’re having fights May 9, then another card May 13, then May 16. We’re doing Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday. We’re gonna knock out three shows in a week."
White: Donald Cerrone vs. Anthony Pettis will headline the May 9 prelims
White says Ferguson vs. Gaethje is “one of the most violent fights we’ve ever put on."
White: Khabib will be back in September or October.
White: The May 9 card is going to be in Florida. The venue doesn’t matter. It’s on ESPN. Nobody can go. There won’t be any fans. We’re going to follow all the rules and guidelines. We had a 30-page plan we submitted to the governor of Nevada.
White: Fight Island should be up and running in June. So I should be able to start running international events in June. From May 9 to May 23, we’ll knock out four shows. And then in June we can start international stuff on the island.
White: I’m not in a big hurry to get fans back in the arena. I know we can do this thing safely with no fans. We have a good plan in place. I don’t know when the whole fan thing is going to start again.
White: We’re gonna catch up to our regular schedule and then we’ll be off and running. Keep the dates we have, hopefully.
