In its early years, the UFC was a fledgling promotion struggling for survival. At that time, it was restricted to rec centers in tier-three cities. This, of course, is in stark contrast to the present iteration of the UFC. Today, the UFC holds events in the most marquis venues in the world.

These include iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York, the O2 Arena in London, and the Etihad Stadium in the UAE. And, it seems, Dana White and the UFC are looking to broaden their horizons and have their eye on another iconic venue.

Dana White eyeing iconic Las Vegas venue for UFC event

At the latest Dana White’s Contender Series (DWCS) post-fight press conference, the UFC CEO talked about the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas. The venue has an 18,600-seat auditorium with immersive video and audio capabilities, which include a unique 16k wraparound interior LED screen, 4D physical effects, and speakers with beamforming and wave field synthesis technologies. White said that he had heard good things about the venue and was looking to hold UFC Noche on Mexican Independence Day next year at the venue.

“Everybody was buzzing about the U2 concert on Saturday, they said it was incredible… You all know I want that date. That’s what I want. I want to do Mexican Independence Day there. Imagine the show I can put on at the Sphere with Mexican Independence Day. So yeah, we’ll f*cking put on an incredible show in that amazing arena for the next Mexican Independence Day. I’m very excited about it,” the UFC CEO told the press.

Fans were quick to react to Dana White wanting to hold the next UFC Noche at the MSG Sphere. Here is what they had to say.

“This would be insane.”

Another wanted to see a Conor McGregor walkout there:

“Imagine a McGregor walkout in that sphere”

Another felt that the UFC should hold the Mexican Independence Day card in Mexico:

“Bruh Mexican Independence Day should be in MEXICO hello??”

Another seconded the sentiment:

“Maybe they should do the Mexican independence day card in Mexico or something?… just a crazy thought idk…”

One user speculated the UFC would hold its 300th event there:

“ufc 300 at the sphere.”

Well, the UFC has certainly come a long way. And since it does hold events at some of the most famous venues in the world, it would be a shame not to add the Sphere to the list, as it will give fight fans a truly exceptional and memorable experience.
