Preparing to organize UFC Noche, which will be held at Esfera, in Las Vegas, Dana White reveals the money invested, and plans to make history
The UFC President, Dana Whitehas already promised the biggest event in the history of combat sports twice in 2024. First it was with UFC 300, which delivered a lot to the organization’s fans, and now the president guarantees that 306, which will be held at Esfera, in Las Vegas, will surpass the previous one.
In an interview with the channel “The Pat McAfee Show”, he assured that he has already made a record investment, and that the value should increase: “We’re going to do 10 (fights). There’s going to be a main event, a co-main event, and obviously this card is going to be very Mexican. I’ve already invested $17 million in this thing and we’re not even close to September yet..”

In recent days, in fact, the UFC channel in Canada reportedly leaked the two main fights of the event, with Ilya Topuria against Max HollowayIt is Sean O’Malley facing Merab Dvashvliliboth at stake for a belt. For this reason, and for other reasons, such as financial ones, Dana continues to praise the preparation of the event.
“When I tell you that I’m going to put on the biggest live sporting event in the history of combat sports, maybe in the history of sports, period. No one else is going to come in and spend (that much money)”added the director and main representative of the North American organization.
Before that, the 305 event will still be held next month, which will feature the return of Israel Adesanya to the octagons after a sabbatical due to the defeat to Sean Strickland. The former champion will face the South African, Dricus Du Plessisto try to reclaim the middleweight crown.
