Dana White Reveals 'Easter Eggs' Surprise for UFC 306



UFC 306 keeps getting more and more interesting.

It is well known that the Noche UFC Riyadh Season card, which goes down at the Sphere in Las Vegas on Saturday, will be the promotion’s first and only venture at the venue. The promotion has already made known that there will be films playing on the entire media plane with the fights as chapters of the films.

Dana White recently revealed another surprise for viewers within those films. The UFC head honcho announced a $25,000 reward for anyone who can spot all the “Easter eggs” that will be there in the films. White also confirmed that the Easter eggs will be related to the event, which is a tribute to Mexico’s contribution to combat sports.

“There are also going to be Easter eggs in each one of these films,” White said during the post-fight press conference for the Contender Series on Tuesday night. “We’re working it out with legal right now, but what I want to do, if somebody can find all the Easter eggs, I’ll give you $25,000… They are related to the show.”

White was first enchanted with the Sphere when he attended a U2 concert there with Tom Brady in October 2023. The 55-year-old has since gone to great lengths to put together the first sporting event at the venue, partnering with Saudi Arabia in the process. White revealed that one of the first and biggest challenges the promotion faced in planning the card was the lighting. Unlike any other UFC event, the Sphere’s dome doesn’t support a structure above the Octagon which usually holds the lights, cameras and microphones.

“There’s no lighting grid,” White said. “So this will be the first event in the history of the company, probably in the history of combat sports I would imagine, where there isn’t a lighting grid hanging over the Octagon. So you have lights, cameras, microphones, different audio, all in that trussing up there. And that’s all gone. That was the big first challenge.”
