Dana White shares early details on highly anticipated Noche UFC 306 at Las Vegas Sphere: "Fight will be the star of the show"

Dana White has been very vocal about how he plans to put forth the greatest event in combat sports history at UFC 306, which will mark the promotion's first event at the Las Vegas Sphere. With the card just five days away, the UFC CEO shared some early details about the highly-anticipated event.

During a recent appearance on ESPN's First Take, the promotional frontman stated:

"We are going to put on this unbelievable entertainment event. There's a movie that's gonna run in the Sphere, right? There are chapters to this movie. So, before each fight is a movie, and you will be focused on the Sphere and the screen then the fighters will walk out and hopefully - what we're hoping is then the fight is the star of the show."

White continued:

"When that's over, there will be another movie then a fight. And basically this movie that I'm talking about and these chapters will tell the history of combat sports in Mexico, the history of the Mexican people, their traditions. It is what I call 'The Love Letter to Mexico.'"
