UFC CEO Dana White has revealed that plans are being explored for another major event following the promotion\u2019s White House card, although he insists the historic show will not be repeated.<\/p>\n

The White House event represented one of the UFC\u2019s most ambitious productions to date, following previous large-scale projects including Noche UFC at the Sphere in Las Vegas. White has ruled out returning to both venues for similar events but said UFC head of production Craig Borsari has now proposed another concept that is being explored.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow my head of production Craig Borsari is so cocky after he absolutely killed that [White House] event, we are talking about something right now that he came up with \u2014 this was his idea \u2014 and I love it,\u201d said White, according to The Pat McAfee Show and MMA Fighting<\/a>. \u201cI have to do some more ground work on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

White did not reveal the location or concept being considered, prompting host Pat McAfee to joke about how far the UFC could go with its next production. \u201cSo cool you guys are going to the moon!\u201d said McAfee. \u201cYou guys are going to go fight people on the moon!\u201d<\/p>\n

There is currently no timetable for the proposed event, with White indicating that further work is required before the idea can become a reality. While details remain limited, the UFC CEO made clear that he does not expect any future production to replicate the scale or significance of the White House card.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will never be anything like the White House again,\u201d said White. \u201cThat night, we already had high expectations for it and I was blown away. It\u2019s the greatest thing that I\u2019ve ever been a part of. Being there live was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UFC CEO Dana White has revealed that plans are being explored for another major event following the promotion\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":746428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,785,85],"class_list":["post-853703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-mma","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=853703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/853703\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/746428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=853703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=853703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=853703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
