Only Dana White would have a dental emergency on Fight Island day 1.
Dental emergencies are one of the worst things on earth in the best place possible. But imagine being thousands of miles from home, in a foreign country and breaking a tooth. That’s exactly what happened to UFC President Dana White on the first day he arrived at UFC’s Fight Island in Abu Dhabi.
Off to a bad start.

White shared a photo of the dentist which was brought in to treat him, complete with COVID-19 protective gear, fixing his teeth.
Dana White is in quarantine on Fight Island
It’s a good thing it was White, who can afford to hire a top of the line dentist to come to his hotel room during quarantine because pretty much none of us could do this.
The UFC is in Abu Dhabi for the next five weeks, hosting five back-to-back cards starting with UFC 253 which hosts two title fights on Saturday. It’s clear he needed this fixed on the island and probably couldn’t wait five weeks to have it fixed back in the United States.
