The Las Vegas MSG Sphere has generated a ton of buzz in the past few weeks, and UFC CEO Dana White appears to be a big fan of the venue.
Last week, White revealed that he was considering holding next year’s Mexican Independence Day card at The Sphere.
After going to personally check out the venue himself this past weekend with Tom Brady, he was blown away by the experience.
“I’m obsessed…. I’ve been talking to MSG every day since. The experience was amazing It’s special. It’s incredible. So, yes, I have been torturing them since I left on Saturday. I literally had my secretary call and make a a Zoom meeting with them again today.. This Sphere is a whole nother level, and basically, in my opinion, I don’t run the sphere and it’s not my company, but it’s so good that for the first at least year they should do nothing but incredible experiences.”
White is now promising to put on “the greatest live combat sports experience anybody has ever seen” at The Sphere.

Since opening, The Sphere has gotten rave reviews from everyone who has attended, but there has been some backlash from concertgoers due to expensive concession prices and the cost of parking near the venue.
Hopefully by the time the UFC holds an event at The Sphere, the pricing issues will be sorted out.
