White has claimed that a UFC middleweight title struggle between champion Israel Adesanya and Paulo Costa is most likely to choose location on Yas Island.

Although White says he’s got choices in the United States, he admits Abu Dhabi is really hard to conquer.

If the UFC has to reverse training course, Dana White feels self-confident that preparations can be created.
