It doesn't look like he's going to be making trips to Fight Island anytime soon to call events. The ESPN commentary team, which includes John Gooden, Jon Anik, Dan hardy, Paul Felder, and Michael Bisping will be taking up those duties.

Although Paul Felder ultimately tested negative for the coronavirus, Michael Bisping was given a seat at the commentator's table for the first-ever fight island event in Paul's stead.

"The Count" dished out on the fighter's unfortunate situation, stating that since he was sitting next to Din on the flight to the UAE, the UFC is erring on the side of caution and isn't allowing him to commentate on the fight. What's more is that he's being forced to quarantine for 14 days before he can leave the country. Michael Bisping relayed how sorry he felt for the Philadelphia native in an interview with MMA Focus.

Members of the UFC team who arrived at Fight Island have been documenting all of the restrictions implemented in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and most of them are being forced to stay in their hotel rooms before the event. Jon Anik shared footage of his hotel room, and it's genuinely delightful to hear him exclaim about the plush accommodations, stating he could "do laps" in the room if he wanted to.

UFC 251 will stream on ESPN+, with the prelims starting at 8 p.m., EST, and the main card airing at 10 p.m.
