Dana White opened up about UFC 306 taking place at The Sphere in Las Vegas and took a jibe at the NHL. He claimed that the 2024 draft will pale in comparison to what he has planned as he intends to provide an unforgettable experience for both fans in attendance and fans watching at home.
The NHL made history this past Friday for being the first televised live event to emanate from the new state-of-the-art venue, which received plenty of praise on social media. Despite the praise, the UFC CEO wasn't too impressed, as he revealed how he plans to utilize the venue and his resources.
During his post-event press conference this past Saturday, the UFC CEO took a jibe at the NHL when a reporter asked whether he saw the draft. White was very blunt with his assessment and mentioned that the upcoming pay-per-view on Sep. 14 will be far superior. He said:
"What I did see was how they did the [draft] rankings all the way up. That's gonna be like f***ing kids playing with crayons compared to what we're gonna do. Literally kids playing with crayons."
