While having a conversation with the media, White asserted that he nearly cried by witnessing just the rehea͏rsals, “I got into this for the stress. Why would I have wanted to do this if I didn’t think it was going to be hard? That’s what makes it so fun. I love it. And we’re ready. We’re good to go.”

He further emphasized that he is confident about the star power of the event, “I’m extremely confident. It really is.” Well, the UFC CEO as well as the community might be excited about Noche UFC. Interestingly, the UFC is fuming a massive $2 million just for each rehearsal as stated by Chael Sonnen in his latest conversation on the Good Guy/Bad Guy podcast.

‘The American Gangster’ further highlighted that the promotion maintained a high level of secrecy in all of their rehearsals. How? Well, Sonnen revealed that the staff members, who worked at the event had to surrender their phones before entering the Sphere. Apparently, they had to sign NDAs too!

The former UFC middleweight title challenger further said that Sphere would be a visual treat for the MMA fans, “I love it! And hey, this whole spear business is working on me. This whole thing that Dana is promoting—that this is going to be the greatest, most stimulating in the history of visual entertainment—it’s working! I can’t wait.”

He further added, “We’ve been sworn to secrecy on a few things, partner, but can I at least tease? Can I at least tell the audience, you have never seen anything like you’re going to see at the Sphere.” 

Well, this event will be a surprise for every MMA fan across the world as nothing like this has ever happened in the combat sports industry. Interestingly, as per Dana White, there will be movies as well.

White shares details about the short films in between the fights

The Sphere is a visual masterpiece, and the UFC is striving to harness its full potential at UFC 306. The UFC CEO announced that the promotion has lined up 6 short films that would be premiered in between the main event celebrating the Mexican fighters as well as their legacy in the world of combat sports. While having a conversation with the media, White confessed, “There’s movies, there’s chapters. Each chapter starts before the next fight. So, there will be a show open, and then the first movie will run, and it will end at the end of the fight.”

He further added, “Then we call them ‘worlds’, and the fight will live inside this world. And the world will evolve while the fights are going on, but it will be very subtle. Clouds will move, fires will burn, birds will fly, or whatever the hell is going on in that time, and it will slowly evolve during the fight.” It would be quite an experience for the MMA community to witness such a spectacle as the promotion has spent a massive fortune on this.

Regardless, what’s your take on the event? Do you believe it can change the world of MMA forever or will it be a disaster for Dana White? State your thoughts in the comments below.
