The UFC is coming to the Las Vegas Sphere in 2024.
On Saturday, UFC CEO Dana White confirmed the UFC would bring its September 14th Mexican Independence Day show to the Sphere.
“Mexican Independence Day, we are booked for the Sphere, and we are already working on the creative for the show,’ “It’s going to be a massive challenge, and I love every minute of it. I can’t wait to dive into this thing. As I get more of the pieces of the puzzle put together, I’ll let you guys know as it comes along.”
White is motivated to put on what he hopes to be the greatest live combat sports show anybody has ever seen.”
“I’m super excited about this, “I love challenges. Everybody keeps saying to me, ‘I don’t understand how you’re going to put the Octagon in there. I don’t understand how you’re going to do this. I don’t understand how you’re going to do that.’ I’m going to remember that I said this to you tonight: I’m going to put on the greatest live combat sports show anybody has ever seen.”

The UFC still has 10 months to plan for the show, but it’ll be interesting to see what they do with the space that was originally meant for music/show performances and not live sporting events.
