UFC: A stacked UFC card is heading to The Sphere in Las Vegas, for a special Mexican edition. The card is being headlined by Sean O'Malley.
UFC turns the sphere Mexican for 306 | 01:30Australia’s Robert Whittaker is being backed to score a blockbuster UFC upset by the fighter who, ironically, has no idea what is coming for himself during Sunday’s hyped $20 million Sphere showcase.
Yet while a small group of UFC executives have already been treated to a screening of the ambitious undertaking – which involves Hollywood directors, Emmy winners, even Taylor Swift concert producers – Dvalishvili says the fighters themselves have been given no notice of what to expect.Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports. Main Event on Kayo Sports and Foxtel is the exclusive home of UFC Pay-Per-View.
“Nobody has taken me inside the Sphere or told us what will be happening,” Dvalishvili told us from Las Vegas.“So if it’s going to be bright, lights or whatever, we will both be in front of each other.”“No, my friend, I’m good,” he laughed.“They tell me ‘do you want to fight this guy’ and I said yes.“When I first immigrated to America, I used to work construction.“But now I’m living my dream, fighting in the UFC and travelling the world.
Speaking on the Anik & Florian podcast recently, Ray Longo said of the fighter he coached for years before the bantamweight relocated to Las Vegas: “He’s going to have to eat some punches to win this fight – period.“If you go in there thinking you’re not going to get hit or you’re just going to do this or do that, I think that’s a huge mistake.”“I don’t have to eat punches because Longo says that,” he laughed.“My plan is to not take any punch.
