TMZSports.com
Dana White and the UFC are gearing up for a groundbreaking event at the Sphere on Saturday, thanks in part to Tom Brady. White recently shared how Brady’s invitation to the Sphere sparked the idea for this historic sporting event.
White disclosed the pivotal role Brady played in the inception of the event during an interview with Babcock on TMZ Sports TV show. He explained, “I went to the Sphere with Tom Brady. He invited me to come to U2 with him. Had Brady not invited me, I wouldn’t even have been to the Sphere yet. It’s almost like this was meant to be.”
The Sphere, located in Las Vegas, offers a state-of-the-art venue that promises a unique and immersive viewing experience. White revealed that if not for a contractual dispute, UFC 306 would have taken place at the T-Mobile Arena, which is partially owned by MGM.
“No matter how it plays out, this was supposed to happen. It’s a one-and-done. I’m under contract with MGM and I’ll be back with them after this event,” White emphasized.
The upcoming UFC 306 card, known as Noche UFC, is set to celebrate Mexican Independence Day weekend on September 14 in Sin City. The event will feature two title fights, including “Suga” Sean O’Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili.
White expressed his goal of honoring Mexican heritage through the event, highlighting the country’s traditions, culture, history, and contributions to combat sports.
Despite the significant investment required, White is optimistic about the event’s success. He shared, “I’m 20 million into this thing, but pre-buys have been record-breaking, and the gate is projected to be $23 million, the highest in UFC history.”
