Dana White reveals his next big challenge

The promotion has grown so popular that some people are thinking about what’s next for Dana White. Well, he revealed recently that his next big project is to host a UFC event at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

During his recent appearance on the ‘Full Send’ podcast, Dan White said, “The next big challenge [in my life] is the Sphere – how to figure this thing out and how to turn this into the greatest f***ing live sporting event anybody’s ever seen as far combat sports go.” He is determined to make Noche UFC 2 a spectacle as fans wonder if the promotion has the production prowess to make the Sphere look like an eye-catching battleground.

Daniel Cormier responds to Jon Jones asking to change the match decision

Over a month ago, Jon Jones called for the decision of his second fight against Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier to be changed. He even suggested wiping that fight off his record after his ‘surviving USADA’. However, Cormier did not agree with him and claimed that things do not work that way. He appeared in a recent edition of ‘The MMA Hour’ and revealed his thoughts to Ariel Helwani.

“We cannot recreate history now. You can’t go back and say, ‘I beat USADA,'” said Daniel Cormier. The Hall of Famer further argued that it is strange to claim to have beaten USADA because nobody has. “It’s kind of crazy to hear that, ‘I beat USADA.’ No, you didn’t beat USADA, bro. None of us beat USADA,” Cormier further added.
