To avoid the risk of boring fights, a warning was issued to Dana White before the night UFC Sphere error involving Sean O’Malley and Ilia Topuria

The Nohce UFC 2 or UFC 306 pay-per-view is so close it seems like yesterday Dana White announced to wow fans with the “The greatest sporting event of all time” at the Sphere. Meanwhile, UFC legend Chael Sonnen has spoken out against some of the speculation surrounding the mega-event, and while there’s some truth to it, the native of the mean streets of West Linn, Oregon, thinks the UFC CEO could be making a huge mistake.

With Dana White revealing that he has already invested $17 million for the PPV in this $2.3 billion venue, rumors have surfaced that he is considering adding three title fights to the Sphere card. Sounds impressive and exciting, right? Well, for Chael Sonnen, it will be a nightmare as it is a tried and true method that has produced mixed results.

Chael Sonnen Warns Dana White About Implications of Three Title Fights

From the very beginning of the idea of ​​a UFC event at the Sphere, we were told that the Alexa Grasso And Valentina Shevchenko The trilogy will be featured on the UFC 306 card. However, “Bullet” wanted none of that on Mexican Independence Day, saying she would be at a disadvantage. Nevertheless, those plans are still in the running.

On the other hand, there has been speculation that the featherweight title fight is on the line and a possible Ilia Topuria against Max Holloway fight would be the main event of the show. After that, given the magnitude of the event, another rumor suggested the addition of a third title fight between Sean O’Malley And Merab Dvalishvili is also under discussion.

“This fight (Grasso vs. Shevchenko) was supposed to happen on Noche night… somewhere along the way we lost Shevchenko… When you add Max and Ilia, then you find out “Suga” Sean. Now we’re talking about three title fights,” said Chael Sonnen on his YouTube channel. Aside from Valentina Shevchenko, all of the fighters mentioned above, especially Sean O’Malley and Merab Dvalishvili, are clamoring for a spot on Dana White’s Sphere card.

This sounds like a treat for the fans, but Chael Sonnen thinks it will only bore the crowd that will be there. Why? Because a finish can never be guaranteed and there is a risk that fans will have to watch the fights longer than they want, which could lower the energy in the arena.

“It’s good for a poster, but in practice it sucks. It worked once and it flopped once… I’ll tell you what show (with 3 title fights) worked. UFC 100. And the next time it flopped. They were all distance. You had 75 minutes of fighting. It’s brutal,” Chael Sonnen added: “But we’re still almost two months away from the event, and fight announcements can take time. However, Dana White recently revealed some major details about what we’ll be getting at UFC 306 on The Pat McAfee Show.”

UFC CEO Announces Total Fights for Sphere PPV

Dana White has already laid out his plans for the fight card and during his recent appearance on the “Pat McAfee” show, the 54-year-old revealed that he has a total of ten fights in mind. Obviously, he wasn’t going to announce those fights, but he did assure that the card would feature mostly Mexican fighters, which is the theme of this pay-per-view.

“We’re going to do 10 (fights), there will be a main, a co-main, and obviously this card will be very Mexican,” Dana White said Pat McAfeeHe exclusively mentioned the main and side events, which could mean he may have two big fights in mind or title fights. However, we can’t be sure of anything unless the UFC CEO announces the final fight card like he usually does on social media.
