Dana White may be getting a visit from former president Donald Trump at the UFC’s first foray into ‘The Sphere’ in Las Vegas! Originally titled ‘UFC 306’ the September 14th event will be another first for the promotion as it has now been rebranded to ‘Riyadh Season Noche UFC’. Marking the first event in UFC history to have a title partner sponsorship deal. 

The event will be the second celebration of Mexican Independence Day by the promotion and the UFC boss has pulled out all the stops to ensure that it lives up to the hype. But what about notable guests to add to the prestige of the event? According to a former UFC star, there’s no man better suited to send the crowd into a frenzy than Donald Trump!

Dana White will host Donald Trump At ‘Noche UFC Sphere’ claims Brendan Schaub  

Former president Donald Trump has been a fixture at many UFC events going all the way back to 2001 when the promotion held UFC 30 at the ‘Trump Taj Mahal’ in Atlantic City. The politician and business mogul recently also attended the UFC 302 event in New Jersey where he was greeted with resounding applause by the members of the audience.

As such, during their conversation on the TFATK (The Fighter and The Kid) podcast episode no. 1009, Bryan Callen and Brendan Schaub talked about the possibility of the former president making an appearance at ‘The Sphere’. Callen started off the discussion by questioning “When he shows up to the UFC, what do you think?”

His co-host and former UFC heavyweight, Schaub then stated that he’s just waiting for Trump to make another appearance in the UFC. Callen then stated that he believes that the crowd might be the “craziest” ever if the former POTUS showed up. Schaub then went on to claim, “I bet he shows up at the sphere in September… Yep, the Sphere, September 14th, Trump will be there, biggest sporting event in combat history. Boom.”

The longtime association between White and Donald Trump can make this appearance a possibility. After the recent assassination attempt on the former president, White had proclaimed on ‘The Pat McAfee’ show, “This guy is the legitimate, ultimate American bad a**of all-time.” It remains to be seen if Brendan Schaub’s prediction for Trump’s appearance comes true or not, but the UFC boss has recently indicated that the event will feature a rarely seen seating arrangement for the fans watching the show live!

‘The Sphere’ in Las Vegas has the capacity to seat between 18,000 to 20,000 fans for an event, and Dana White and the UFC are aiming to put not just the seats, but the floor to use as well! Speaking on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’, the UFC head honcho revealed, “You’re going to have people that are in the seats, people that are in the suites, and then the bottom level where people are actually standing and will watch the whole thing standing room only…”

White also stated that the full production for the event is still under progress but he’s “already $17 million into this thing” and he is determined to put on the “greatest live sporting event in the history of combat sports”!

Whether or not Donald Trump attends, ‘Riyadh Season Noche UFC’ promises to be a landmark event.
