Enter the Dragon

Private Island? So we're just going full on mortal kombat now. K

A private island? How much has he donated to the Coronavirus battle?

Put the fighters on a private island under quarantine for two weeks, then let them have at it. Problem solved... everybody gets paid, fans happy. Can I sit on a private island for two weeks then do eye exams and get paid? Because that would be GREAT! 😃👁👩🏻‍⚕️

That idea is fyre!

All major TV networks are still on and making money. Why not them? Have them tested and go for it. People are bored to death at home.

Enter the Dragon becomes a reality?

Not a good look. UFC will not do well trying to pull off something like this. It will be interpreted as a pure money grab.

Theyll never know the simple joys of a monkey knife fight

Pure stupidity

That sounds sketchy

This will be future
