One of the more successful events for the UFC in 2023 was Noche UFC, which took place on Mexican Independence Day.
The second of these events will be happening next year and UFC President Dana White says Noche UFC II is happening at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“Mexican Independence Day, we are booked for The Sphere,” White told MMA Junkie at Saturday’s UFC 295 post-fight news conference. “And we are already working on the creative for the show.”
UFC Women’s Flyweight Champion Alexa Grasso fought former UFC Women’s Flyweight Champion Valentina Shevchenko to a split draw in the main event of the first Noche UFC card.
White admits that the UFC running an event in the Sphere is going to be full of challenges.
“It’s going to be a massive challenge, and I love every minute of it,” White said. “I can’t wait to dive into this thing. We’re reaching out – as I get more of the pieces of the puzzle put together, I will let you guys know as it comes along. I am super excited about this. I love challenges. Everyone 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.’ Remember that I said this to you tonight: I’m going to put on the greatest live combat sports show anybody has ever seen.”
