2 Important Things Dana White Revealed About Noche UFC Sphere at Pat McAfee Podcast as CEO Expects UFC’s Biggest Event Ever

Despite the excitement around it, UFC Noche has sent the fighting community into shock. The event, scheduled to be held at The Sphere, Las Vegas, on 14th September, is indeed one of the highly anticipated events in the fighting world. Dana White made sure to give the fight fans an exciting card. But did you know that it will feature just 10 fights? Well, that’s what the UFC CEO claimed. But there was more to it. Let’s find out how the audience will watch the fights at UFC 306.

The Sphere has been exciting the entire world with its immersive visuals lately. Hosting shows, concerts, and events in style might just be the tagline for the venue, don’t you think? With UFC set to step foot in The Sphere, many netizens have started wondering about how the live audience would watch the fights, given that the venue is a bit unorthodox. Let’s find out what White has arranged for the fight fans.

Dana White reveals important details for UFC Noche

On his appearance on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ on the 13th of July, 2024, the UFC head honcho revealed the seating arrangements for the event. It is, as anticipated, will be heavy with Mexican mixed martial artists. Unfortunately, the UFC big gun didn’t reveal anything else about the cards. But he did speak about the seating arrangements when McAfee asked the UFC CEO about it.

There would be three levels at The Sphere with suites, seats, and a space for the fight fans to stand and watch the event. White said, “You’re going to have people that are in the seats, the 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. Then there will be bleachers and seats…”

The UFC bossman revealed that he had already spent a massive amount of $17 million, while the world is still in July! Crazy, isn’t it? Nevertheless, the event is indeed going to be a big one, judging by the hype of it. 

Even though White tried his best not to repeat the mistake of revealing any information about the cards as he did with UFC 305, he couldn’t stop it altogether. Yep! The two big fights for the event have been revealed to the fans.

Leaked cards for UFC 306

The UFC French-Canadian broadcasters sent an uproar through the crowd at UFC Fight Night: Namajunas vs. Cortez with some information about the cards set for UFC Noche. The broadcasters revealed that UFC 306 will feature Max Holloway trying to get hold of the featherweight championship belt from Ilia Topuria. It would indeed be a champions’ fight with the BMF champ going against the featherweight champ.

But hold your horses! With just 10 fights in the event, White had to make the names that garner more attention. And who else to place in the co-main event other than Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O’Malley? Well, the event will witness not one, but two title fights. Exciting, right?
