A stretch of nearly 7 miles of Yas Island in Abu Dhabi has been cordoned off and set as the “safe zone” for the UFC’s four events this month at “Fight Island.” This zone will be in place for the next several weeks, including Saturday’s UFC 251 event, as well as three more events through July 26. The zone will only be accessible by UFC personnel, event staff and Yas Island employees. According to a release, all event staff members have been in quarantine in their hotel rooms since June 19 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All have been tested during that period. A crew of 740 people put together the venue and safe zone area.
