There’s more than just fights and light shows at Riyadh Season UFC Noche. CEO Dana White recently revealed something that will make the fans pay attention to more than just the action. And that is what we will star today’s Roundup with.

After the epic news about the UFC 306, we will move on to another piece of news coming from White, and this time the UFC CEO has named the man for the Sphere inspiration. At the end of the discussion, we will have a conversation from the heavyweight division and it seems that Tom Aspinall and Jon Jones are ready to kick off something.

Dana White’s massive announcement for UFC Sphere

UFC Noche is not only about fights right now as it appears that the production team has worked their level best to make sure that this event stands at the top of the pinnacle of combat sports entertainment. to achieve that, White has a surprise for every viewer. What is it you ask?

Well, it is a fact that during the headlining events, there will be some easter eggs going on around the huge screen, and the first person who spots them all correctly will be awarded. White had announced that there would be short movies on various subjects playing in between fights. Now, you have all the more reason to not miss them.

“It will be very subtle: clouds will move, fires will burn, birds will fly—whatever the hell is going on in that world at that time will slowly evolve. There are also going be easter eggs in each one of these films. We are gonna make it legal for now. Somebody gonna find all the easter eggs, and I will give you 25 thousand dollars. They are related to the shows. This will be during the main card,” said Dana White.

This is something very new in the world of combat sports in addition to the Sphere event. It appears that Dana White is doing his best to make sure he outperforms Canelo Alvarez’s star power match against Edgar Berlanga that’s happening on the same night. Regardless, now that we know about the amazing reward, let us move to the man who inspired Dana White for UFC Sphere.

Tom Brady had a massive role in UFC 306 as per Dana White

UFC Sphere would not have been a possibility if it had not been for NFL legend, Tom Brady. How, you ask? Well, it was Brady who pinged the UFC CEO Dana White to be in attendance for the U2 show. Tom Brady invited the CEO to the Sphere event and as soon as Dana White witnessed the glam of the place, he was sure that he would be doing something which has not been done by anyone in combat sports history.

While having a conversation at the DWCS press conference, Dana White was asked about his plans for the future, to which the UFC CEO replied, “I’ve been talking this whole week and the week before about if Tom Brady hadn’t called me and asked me to go to U2, I would have not gone to the Sphere yet. I just wouldn’t have. I don’t have time, and I just would have never gone to anything. So, the Eagles are coming after us. I will be at the Eagles concert, but I wouldn’t have gone to this event.”

He further added, “And then, the whole thing that happened with MGM – it’s like this was meant to happen. It was meant to happen, and I’m looking at it no different now. This is going to be a flagpole event for us every year.”

If it had not been for Tom Brady then UFC Sphere would not have been a possibility at all, however, luckily, everything happened at the right time. Well, now that we are updated on all the Noche UFC news, let us move on to news from the UFC heavyweight division.

Tom Aspinall and Jon Jones continue to go at it

The͏ saga͏ betw͏e͏e͏n ͏͏To͏m A͏sp͏ina͏ll a͏nd Jon͏ Jones͏͏ h͏as bee͏n o͏ng͏oin͏g fo͏r nearly a y͏ear͏ ͏now,͏ a͏n͏d ͏it seems ͏it w͏on’͏t͏ stop until either Jones retir͏es fr͏͏o͏m ͏the sp͏o͏͏͏rt o͏r g͏ive͏s Aspin͏all a sho͏͏t ͏at ͏the h͏eavyweig͏ht titl͏e.͏It must be noted that Jones wants to fight Stipe Miocic as his final opponent and after that he will be taking retirement but Aspinall is hell-bent on fighting him to claim the undisputed heavyweight gold.

In his latest escapade with TNT Sports, Aspinall stated that he is testing Jones’s patience level.”He [Jones] wants the easy fight, Stipe [Miocic], for now, But I have the faith. Jon’s getting a bit ticked off with me at the minute, which is my intention. I’m trying to test his ego to see if he could be like ‘Actually, I’m the man at heavyweight.”

He further added, “I’m gonna show you…So that’s what I’m working on at the moment. It seems that Jon is getting a little bit fuming with me so that’ll be nice if he continues that. He might be trolling everybody, who knows?” Will this statement irk the heavyweight champ enough to get back at him or Miocic will be the end of Jones’s chapter at MMA?
