Dana White: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Demi Lovato will be first fans invited to Fight Island

Officials in Abu Dhabi are considering allowing fans on Fight Island to watch UFC fights in person in the near future. However, not just anyone will be allowed, and Dana White already is working on his VIP list. 

The UFC president has a few people in mind, and his choices aren't necessarily surprising, according to TMZ Sports:

"I have a list of people that, when I get it done, I'm gonna reach out to see if they're interested in coming to Abu Dhabi for the fights. Well I haven't even put it together yet but, definitely, obviously The Rock ... and Anthony Kiedis is a diehard fan. Demi Lovato is a big fan."

Lovato has been to many UFC events while Johnson actually considered fighting in UFC before he "smartened up." 

We've already seen a number of fights on Fight Island already. However, the biggest fight of the event is on Saturday. Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje will square off in the ring. Quite frankly, it's unfortunate that fans won't be allowed to see the fight.
