Despite rumors swirling around about Eddie Hearn potentially beating Dana White to the punch in hosting the first combat sports event at The Sphere arena in Las Vegas, White has emphatically shut down any talk of a rival promoter taking the spotlight. With speculation of a Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano rematch headlining a show at The Sphere, White has made it clear that he will not be outdone by Hearn or anyone else in securing the inaugural fight card at the prestigious venue.
While the Taylor-Serrano rematch was reportedly in the works for June, White has set his sights on September for what he promises to be “the greatest live combat sports show anybody’s ever seen.” With the UFC event coinciding with Mexican Independence Day, anticipation is building for the spectacle that White is planning. As fans await the extravaganza, the question remains – where will the highly anticipated Taylor-Serrano rematch take place, or will Taylor be facing a different opponent altogether?
As the focus shifts to potential opponents for Taylor if not Serrano or Chantelle Cameron, boxing fans are left wondering about the future matchups for the undisputed lightweight champion. Cameron, expressing her disappointment over the cancellation of a proposed rubber match with Taylor, adds to the intrigue surrounding Taylor’s next move. The uncertainty in the boxing world only adds to the anticipation of upcoming events at The Sphere.
With The Sphere poised to become a hub for combat sports, both boxing and MMA are set to benefit from the state-of-the-art arena in Las Vegas. Boasting a capacity of 18,600 fans and a staggering $2.3 billion price tag, The Sphere represents a new era in fight entertainment. As White and Hearn vie for the opportunity to showcase their promotions at this iconic venue, fight fans can look forward to a new chapter in combat sports history.
The battle for supremacy at The Sphere between Dana White and Eddie Hearn sets the stage for an exciting rivalry in the world of combat sports promotion. As the competition heats up and plans are solidified for future events, fans can expect unforgettable moments at this cutting-edge venue. Whether it’s the UFC’s monumental show in September or a potential blockbuster boxing matchup, The Sphere is primed to become the ultimate destination for fight fans around the globe.
