Dana White promises to host ‘greatest live combat sports event’ at Las Vegas Sphere

[z99]

Here's a pro tip Dana:
All matches are for the belt, for every weight class. Otherwise GTFO.

 

[John makfresshi]

? There was some good and some bad.

No superstars want to risk losing their title fighting damn near a mile above sea level, it’s just a known thing that Mexico City isn’t the most ideal fighting city. Mexican Independence Day is in the states for a reason

 

[John makfresshi]

I don't get the appeal for an MMA fight.

It’s two guys using different types of traditional martial arts blended together to see who the better participant is in limited rules combat. There’s rounds and a ref but it’s “As real as it gets”. It’s pretty coool sport if you ask me

 

[Prologue]

Come on y'all... the dome is gonna be fuckin' sick!

Main event in the roman coloseum? Fuck yeah homie!

Cain fought Werdum in Mexico city.

Cain fought Werdum in Mexico city.

And how did that go. We learned the hard way due to those events, including RDA vs Tony.

 

[swarrrm]

Can they show hendo ko bisping on that thing?

True, but the stars will fight there again I imagine.

 

[pick999]

They could use this as the background imagine

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

So they're actually gonna go full HD Pride entrances, right?

 

[TorontoTO]

No one wants to fight at elevation homie

Ya that’s why UFC signed a deal to hold ppvs in Salt Lake City

also not every city in Mexico is at elevation

 

[FrankDux]

Seems like an absolute no brainer. Willing to bet Dana gets this done.

 

[Siver!]

Man, I'd love to be in the creative team that designs those fighter entrances <45>

And fuck "flags and stuff" - this has gotta be next level shit.

 

[markys00]

UFC 300 would be great, but timing doesn't look right

 

[Dana's Conscience]

He's trying to go there for next Mexican Independence Day

I can't imagine UFC 300 being anywhere besides T-Mobile

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Seems like an absolute no brainer. Willing to bet Dana gets this done.

I want to see the sphere projecting some crazy stuff during fights, like



Imagine Tito's giant round head gets blown up to 300 feet diameter.

Or Dana's perfectly round red face

 

[nonoob]

If it can't show the hendo ko of bisping, why TF did they even build it ?

Sorry bud... Hard Pass on both of those...
