Fans witnessed some exciting fights at UFC Vegas 80 on Saturday. However, one of the most surprising moments came when 7-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady seemed to be present at the cage side. Moreover, when Dana White was asked about the NFL legend attending the event, he revealed that they had some plans together.

It is not unusual to see celebrities and athletes from sporting backgrounds attend UFC events. As such, the G.O.A.T of the NFL is also among the bunch. This is not Tom Brady’s first time attending a UFC event and certainly won’t be his last. However, Dana White revealed that there were other reasons for the former Buccaneers and Patriots star’s presence at the Apex.

Dana White and Tom Brady had plans to watch the U2 concert

It surprised fans to see Tom Brady attend a UFC Fight Night event since the card did not really have much star power. Nevertheless, he seemed to enjoy watching the fights. In addition to that, even had a brief interaction with 27-year-old prospect Joe Pyfer after the latter’s win over Abdul Razak Alhassan.

However, Tom Brady did not really come to the Apex just to watch the fights. He had some other plans with UFC CEO, Dana White. The 54-year-old promoter revealed during the post-fight press conference that he and the NFL legend had plans to go and watch the Irish rock band U2 perform live. The concert was being held at the MSG Sphere.

“We’re going to [watch the] U2 [concert] tonight,” said Dana White. Besides, the UFC CEO wasn’t necessarily thinking of watching U2 perform live. It was more about his newfound love for the $2.3 billion structure, the MSG Sphere. White recently claimed that he is planning to put on a UFC event in that venue in the future.

UFC CEO wants to bring UFC to the Sphere

Given that Dana White and Tom Brady went to watch a live concert at the Sphere, U2 were the first musical artists to have performed in the billion-dollar structure. The 54-year-old promoter was smitten by Sphere. It is one of the most stunning arenas that the world has ever seen. The MSG Sphere can give tough competition to some of the biggest arenas in the world. As such, White wants to make his mark in that structure as well.

During a recent Contender Series press conference, Dana White confessed that he was planning to host the next Mexican Independence Day event at the Sphere. It is because Noche UFC did wonders in terms of revenue. It was the biggest Fight Night event in the UFC’s history and secured a total gate of more than $2 million. Hence, White wants to take the event to another level at the Sphere.
