UFC president Dana White showed off his basketball court and beautiful swimming pool during a tour of his incredible mansion.

Haute TV uploaded a video of the 50-year-old American explaining five things that he has been doing amid the coronavirus pandemic.

White admitted that he has been practising his jump shot at his in-door basketball court, which has the Boston Celtics logo branded on the floor.

The UFC chief also showed off his impressive arcade room as he revealed that he has been "working on my fighting skills."

White stands outside on his mansion's balcony and says he has been doing a lot of swimming, saying the weather in Las Vegas has been "perfect" for it.

Gym work has also been included in the UFC president's routine, as well as managing his work schedule ahead of UFC 249 next week.

"Every morning when I get up, I start work and I check in with my executive team and we make sure all of our employees and all of our fighters and their families are healthy and safe," he said.

"Then we start working on the fight. We're going live on ESPN+ pay-per-view with Tony Ferguson vs Justin Gaethje for the interim lightweight championship -- and that's what I've been doing while I'm quarantined."

UFC 249, which was initially scheduled for 18th April, was postponed due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.

But UFC will now attempt to hold the event this month at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.

Tony Ferguson is set to clash with Justin Gaethje for the interim UFC lightweight championship as part of a stacked UFC 249 card.

White has confirmed that UFC has ambitious plans to hold three events in eight days this month amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"They want to fight. People are hitting us up and want to fight," he said.

"We're putting together three cards in a week. People who want to fight are going to get fights."
