Dana White's goal fulfilled as Noche UFC event at Las Vegas Sphere wins two Emmy Awards
It's a time of celebration for Dana White as one of his goals for the Noche UFC event at the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada, was recently fulfilled. The event was awarded two Emmy Awards, making the event well worth the investment.
Prior to Noche UFC at the Sphere last September, White was transparent about the large $20 million sum spent on the event, which covered the production costs and short films. It wasn't an ordinary event, as there were additional production trucks and a director, so fans watching the broadcast could get the feeling that they were at the venue. The event celebrated Mexican Independence Day and was headlined by a bantamweight title clash between Sean O'Malley and Merab Dvalishvili.
Ahead of Noche UFC, White expressed his desire to win an Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy. The UFC CEO recently shared a fan's post to his Instagram story in which they congratulated him and his staff on achieving one of his goals with the Emmy Awards:
"Congrats to @danawhite and his entire production team as Noche UFC wins two sports Emmy Awards"
