Dana White disclosed in his detailed speech that he intended for the UFC Sphere to be the largest combat sports event ever. White revealed spending millions on the event to make it so spectacular that no other promotion could match it. He also predicted to blow everyone’s expectations.

Every other event that goes in there is gonna go mother****** What do we do now? We are gonna f**** blow the doors off.

The Las Vegas Sphere has gained much attention from fans worldwide since his inauguration last year. The UFC announced they have already booked the Sphere for their upcoming UFC event on Mexican Independence Day. This has created a lot of assumptions among fight fans and the UFC has plans to utilize it to the fullest.

White has no plans to show mercy to any of his competitors in the fight business when hosting an event at the Sphere. He expects to outwork other competitors and produce a tale that will withstand the test of time. This will come off as a blow to other combat sports promotions, especially Eddie Hearn, who had thought of holding a boxing event at the Sphere later this year.

Early rumors suggested that boxing superstars Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano would square off in a major rematch at The Sphere. Now, it will co-main event the infamous Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Netflix card. However, even before the change of plans, Dana White doesn’t think that’s going to happen on his watch.
