UFC CEO Dana White has made a huge reveal regarding the Las Vegas Sphere. White plans to host a number of events in the state-of-the-art facility. The UFC CEO in a recent interview, showed his interest in hosting the Mexican Independence Day event at the sphere.

In the press conference at the Dana White’s contender series, White said, “You all know that I want that date. That’s what I want. I want to do Mexican Independence Day there. Imagine the show that I can put on at the Sphere with Mexican Independence Day.” In recent events, UFC has revealed that they’re planning on hosting events at the MSG Sphere at the Venetian Resort. Reportedly, the arena just opened its doors in late September to the public.

White’s interest in booking the facility for Mexican Independence Day could mean that the next Noche UFC would be hosted at the Sphere. The auspicious day would be around September 14-15. The facilities in the arena are talked about a lot. An 18,600-seat arena consists of an interior LED screen, including an exoskeleton made of LED screens. Previously, after being open to the public, the NBA used the exterior for promotion.

There were reports that the facility holds an infrasound haptic system that uses vibrations to give the audience an experience of life. An event hosted at such a facility will be a success among fans who look forward to this experience. After UFC’s first event at the Mexican Independence Day, White plans to keep Noche UFC as an important event every year.

Dana White is planning on booking Michael Chandler’s return amidst Conor McGregor’s delay

UFC CEO Dana White is willing to book a UFC fight for Michael Chandler if the saga of Conor McGregor‘s return goes on longer. Previously, McGregor wanted the fight to take place in December 2023. However, after UFC released the headline events at UFC 295 and 296, McGregor-Chandler’s bout looks highly unlikely this year.

At Dana White’s Contender Series, White said he still believed the fight would take place in 2024. Although the UFC CEO was ready to make adjustments for Chandler if needed. White said that despite the wait, Chandler would still choose the McGregor fight for obvious reasons. But in any case, the UFC boss was ready to change the matchup.

Early 2024 will likely see McGregor compete against his TUF rival coach, Chandler. Both fighters had their recent losses against the same fighter, Dustin Poirier. Due to the inactivity in the divisions, both fighters will be looking forward to changing their track records on the lightweight roster.
