Dana White and The Sphere

On September 14, the Ultimate Fighting Championship heads to the Sphere in Las Vegas for the first time. It’s set to be the first major sporting event to take place at the venue, and Dana White wants to make it a big one. He knows how many eyes are going to be on this card, and he also knows that the expectations are already pretty high.

After all, this is an exceptional venue that we’re talking about here – and the potential when it comes to the production value is massive. There are lots of big names who are rumored to be appearing but for now, there’s been no official confirmation.

What we do know, though, as per Dana White himself, is that we’re only going to get a total of ten fights on the card.

White reveals Noche UFC plans

“We’re going to do 10 (fights),” White told McAfee. “There will be a main, co-main, and obviously this card will be very Mexican-heavy.”

“I’m already $17 million into this thing, and we’re not anywhere near September yet,” White said. “… I keep telling you guys: It’s gonna be the most unique, badass show you’ve ever seen in sports.”

Of course, we can expect to see big fights take place at this event – but perhaps the most amazing thing of all will be the spectacle. Hopefully, White and his team ensure it lives up to the hype.
