The 54-year-old MMA figure cannot wait to put on an UFC event for the Mexican Independence next year. Noche UFC already proved to be a huge success and Dana White is determined to continue that kind of success. During a recent appearance on the ‘Full Send’ podcast, he said, “I’m so f***ing pumped for this thing.” White also mentioned that is perhaps the undertaking for him since the Covid-19 pandemic days, which was a difficult time for many businesses around the world.
“The last big challenge in my life was Covid. So the next big challenge in my life is the sphere – how to figure this thing out and how to turn this into the greatest f***ing live sporting event that anyone has ever seen as far as combat sports go,” said Dana White. The UFC CEO also did not forget to reveal how big of a challenge the Sphere is for him.

There is no doubt in Dana White’s mind that booking a venue like the Sphere is a big deal. The whole structure is built around the notion of creating a visual spectacle for the crowd. This is why the 54-year-old is proceeding with caution since he’d made a lot of promises regarding the potential event in the $2.3 billion structure.

He had faced many challenges before and is not afraid to push himself to create history. “I love to put pressure on myself… I f***ing love it,” White added.
