Dana White has a lot in plan for the Riyadh Season Noche UFC. The UFC head honcho has continued to raise the curiosity levels of the fighting community by dropping hints about the biggest event in the UFC. With over $20 million already spent on the development of UFC 306, the fight fans can rest assured of being greatly entertained at the Sphere, Las Vegas. But entertaining the audience isn’t the sole thing that the UFC CEO has targeted.

White has revealed that the MMA promotion would soon release a documentary that has captured all the struggles the team had to go through to make UFC Sphere a reality. Needless to say, the UFC boss has eyes on the big prizes and red carpet.

Dana White eyes the big awards with a documentary for UFC 306

During the press conference for Dana White’s Contender Series season 8 week 5, a reporter asked the UFC head honcho about the experience the audience would receive while witnessing the fights at Noche UFC. Without wasting a single moment, White asked the fight fans to put their phones away during the event. But his aim was at the prestigious awards in the cinematic universe.

With the help of Carlos Lopez Estrada, White has planned to let the audience have a phenomenal experience with short films. And White’s goals also reflected at getting a similar recognition with a documentary. In his reply, he stated, “So my goal in this thing is to be nominated for an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Grammy. So, yes. There will be a documentary. Yep.”

Estrada is indeed a phenomenal filmmaker and musician who was nominated for an Oscar in 2022. It was all because of his exceptional work in the Disney animated film ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’. He also received a nomination for Best Animated Feature at the 94th Academy Awards. Needless to say, with Estrada’s expertise and experience as a celebrated director, White’s wish might just come true.

Along with Estrada, White has also deployed the Emmy Award winner, Glenn Weiss, to direct the event. Let’s see what the UFC CEO had to say about Weiss’ role at the event.

UFC 306 is, in fact, the most expensive project that the MMA promotion has taken up. With sky-high ticket prices and even higher expectations, the fight fans have kept wondering about the intricacies of the event. But not even the boss knows about it all, except for one thing about the show. And it all directed at Weiss controlling the cinematics for the coverage.

In an interview, White said, “So every night, every Saturday night tonight included we put on an in-house live event and we put on a television event that goes out to the world. Two different types of shows, with two different groups of people that run each one. That night we’ll have two more trucks so you will have the greatest director in Hollywood right now that does all the award shows, okay. His name is Glenn Weiss, he’ll be shooting both of those live and trying to make the people at home feel the experience at the Sphere. So all this stuff has to come together and be seamless on September 14th it’s going to be amazing.”

The chief content officer for the UFC announced that the event will feature 6 short films between the fights set to entertain the audience to the greatest extent. These short films will tell the story of Mexico’s contribution to the world of mixed martial arts. To add to that, the fighters will fight in different ‘Worlds’ at the most interactive venue in Las Vegas. But what’s in the films is something that will be revealed on the 14th of September. So stay tuned and ready to be surprised.
