“Mexican Independence day sponsored by Saudi Arabia” – UFC takes over  $2.3 billion Sphere ahead of historic event; fans react

The UFC is set to make history in a truly spectacular fashion. The world’s premier mixed martial arts organization will take over the $2.3 billion Sphere in Las Vegas. This groundbreaking event, scheduled for September 14 on Mexican Independence Day, promises to redefine combat sports entertainment. Recently, the UFC theme took over the Sphere.

Dana White‘s UFC has partnered with Riyadh Season as the title sponsor for this unprecedented spectacle. The event is now renamed “Riyadh Season Noche UFC.” The event coincides with Mexican Independence Day celebrations. It’s a fitting tribute to the immense contributions of Mexican fighters to combat sports.

The venue has a state-of-the-art infrastructure with stunning visuals, but it’s not just about the visuals. The venue’s advanced audio system will deliver crystal-clear sound to every seat. Fans might hear each punch and kick with startling clarity. The event marks the first time UFC has provided a sponsor with title partner status. It seems even the mighty UFC couldn’t resist the allure of the Sphere’s grand debut.

The whole of the card for the now-rebranded UFC 306 is to be determined. Rumors about several fighters headlining the event were rife. Given the proximity of Mexican Independence Day, it might be safe to assume that the card will have majority of Mexican fighters. Nevertheless, the expectations remain sky-high for this massive event.
