UFC's private island location ended up being revealed to be at the Tachi Palace Casino in Lemoore, California. Since its on tribal land, UFC doesn't have to follow California state government nor the state's Athletic Commission orders for event bannings.
Also Dana White invoked Vince McMahon's name for his reasons why UFC is still going ahead with holding shows.

Everybody else is afraid to be first, right now we need leadership, we need people that are going to go out and find solutions. Hiding inside your house is not the answer, I get it, we have to do it. We have followed everything the CDC has said but at what point do we get back to normal? You keep people in their houses for too long without entertainment, people are going to start losing their minds and we need to start figuring out solutions and that’s what we’re doing. We’re going to keep everyone safe and we’re going to pull this off."
