Is Fight Island Coming? The UFC, Inspired by John Oliver, Has Filed 'UFSEA' Trademarks

Zuffa, the parent company of the UFC, has filed four new trademarks related to the term "UFSEA." UF-SEA is something coined by Last Week Tonight in response to the UFC's Fight Island plans. It seems that Dana White changed his tune about this John Oliver segment.

I like John Oliver, I think he's funny.

But this is a perfect example of how you can control the narrative by using selective facts. We did approximately 1,100 tests, only 3 were positive, it was a fighter and his 2 trainers and we had 3 events NOT 1 (via @LastWeekTonight) pic.twitter.com/h605hNnLtd

This means that we are even closer to Fight Island. The UFC has an event this weekend that will take place at their APEX Center in Las Vegas, but after that, none of their upcoming cards have announced venues. UFC 250, which was supposed to happen in Brazil in May, is scheduled to take place on June 6th. There is an event scheduled every Saturday in June so you have to think that if they're really going to do a Fight Island / UFSEA event, it's going to start happening in the next few weeks.

The UFC has filed 4 new trademark applications for UFSEA.

The filings indicate an intent to use the UFSEA trademark in connection with mixed martial arts events and a clothing brand.

These filings come on the heels of the UFC's filings back in April for 'FIGHT ISLAND.' pic.twitter.com/Cqa6AZEESW

After pulling off three shows in a tight window in Jacksonville, the UFC is probably pretty confident this private island thing is going to go off without a hitch. Hopefully, they're right. It wouldn't take much for this to turn into the Ultimate FyreFestival Championships, no matter where the fights take place.
