Dana White just gave some really exciting news for UFC fans all around the globe. He took to Twitter and shared a video of himself announcing that “Vegas is back.”

White shared a video in which he announced that the UFC 264 event will take place at the T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The much-awaited fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier will headline the event.

“What’s up everybody, UFC president Dana White here, I am so happy to finally be able to say ‘Vegas is back’. This summer Las Vegas is back open for business. And on July 10, UFC 264 will be at the T Mobile Arena here in Vegas at 100% capacity. Ladies and Gentlemen, that’s 20000 fans.”

During COVID, it has been really tough to have big live events. Almost all sporting events happened behind closed doors, and hence, White saying that the stadium will be at full capacity is glorious news.
