A massive $17 million has been pumped in by UFC to make UFC Noche one of the most memorable events for the promotion. The once-in-a-lifetime event will take place on the sidelines of Mexican Independence Day and it will happen at the Las Vegas, Sphere. There were rumors that Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler would be returning on that day for their ultimate clash, however, nothing astute came forward on the matter and now another UFC insider claimed an opposite prediction.

While in conversation with the “The Pat McAfee Show”, the UFC supremo, Dana White claimed that the fight card will only have 10 fights, “We’re going to do 10 (fights),” White told McAfee. “There will be a main, co-main, and obviously this card will be very Mexican-heavy.” This confession by the UFC head honcho decreased the probability of a McGregor fight and another UFC insider has come forward to predict the fight card.

Noche UFC Sphere might not have Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler

After the entire UFC 303 fiasco, Conor Mcgregor came forward to emphasize that he would be returning to the Octagon around August or September to finally make his comeback. This announcement caused the MMA community to wonder, whether the UFC has put forward the UFC Noche fight card in front of them. Well, it appears that those statements were nothing more than a facade or rumors.

Renowned Journalist and UFC insider, Ariel Helwani has come forward to assert that the UFC is certainly not planning to put Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler on the same card with another championship defense. “The same reason why Conor fighting Chandler in the Sphere Card would be tremendous and feel like a perfect fit: it is a very expensive card. Dana said a couple of weeks ago that 17 million dollars are already allocated and invested in it, and there’s more to come,” said Helwani.

He further added, “Now, you know that Riyadh Season is sponsoring this, and that helps. But they aren’t putting Conor on the same card as another champion because of the whole pay-per-view thing, and it would cost too much money to put on top of that. So, you should put that aside.”

Dana White in a conversation with the media at the UFC 303 press conference asserted that he would not talk about Conor McGregor’s return till he gets himself fit. The UFC supremo even advised Michael Chandler to not wait for the former dual-weight champion. Well, if not McGregor and Chandler, then whom? Let’s find out.

UFC Noche might have been leaked by UFC insider

UFC Denver went live recently and at the Gabriel Bonfim vs. Ange Loosa fight, a UFC insider might have leaked something that appears to be crucial for the promotion. The broadcaster released the leaks of the potential matches that could go down at the UFC Noche at the Sphere. X user, an MMA matchmaker highlighted the lapse of confidentially.

“In September, it’s going to be quite an event. Noche UFC, on September 14th inside the Sphere, Las Vegas. We already have a few fights that we can announce to you. Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway for the Featherweight championship, and there is also Sean O’Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvilli, who are confirmed for this,” said a UFC broadcaster in French.
