Dana White is set to bring more than just MMA to UFC 306 tonight. With a staggering $20 million event at the Sphere, fans eagerly anticipate an unforgettable experience. UFC veteran Chael Sonnen recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming event, noting that the spectacle and excitement the UFC has in store are unlike anything seen before in sports entertainment.
Sonnen attended a rehearsal for UFC 306 at the Sphere in Las Vegas, and the former middleweight fighter is convinced the event will be a game-changer for sports entertainment. In a conversation with Ariel Helwani, Sonnen said,
“I’ve got to tell you guys, it was remarkable, it was awesome. If I had a stronger word to use I would use it. Like I’ve never seen anything like this. I was telling Ariel, the only thing that comes close by example would be the opening ceremonies to an Olympic games, which take four years and have the funding of the host nation.”
Sonnen added that the Sphere outshines even the ceremonies of the Olympic Games, although it’s the only thing that comes close in comparison. There’s no doubt about the scale of this event, and many fans will likely treat it as a festival. The excitement will be at its peak when Sean O’Malley faces Merab Dvalishvili in the octagon.
