It’s finally the time when fans are seeing a UFC event after a long break. At UFC 324, fans will see the first numbered event, which is going to be a thrilling one between Justin Gaethje vs. Paddy Pimblett. Meanwhile, UFC boss Dana White drops a major hint about the White House card right after UFC 324.
The White House card is one of the most iconic events of all time. Fans are expected to see stars like Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, and more. Meanwhile, now they might get to see them as the UFC boss says he’ll start building the White House card right after UFC 324 and have it dialed in by the second week of February.
“This Saturday, when the fights end. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, we’ll be match-making the White House event,” White said in a recent interview with TMZ Sports.
Jon Anik first sparked the conversation by mentioning the possibility of six or seven title fights on the UFC White House card, and the idea immediately caught everyone’s attention. But UFC veteran Chael Sonnen doesn’t think this is a good idea. He also suggests to Dana White not to overload the UFC White House card with title fights.
“It’s a little much. Just as a fan, I’ve been to events. There’s one that Scott Coker put on, but there were three title fights…they all went the distance. It was too much. It was 75 minutes of seeing three fights. It was too much. I think it’s a big mistake.” Sonnen said.
According to Sonnen, stacking too many five-round title fights could hurt the viewing experience. He explained that long, 25-minute fights back-to-back can become exhausting for fans. Now, fans have to wait and see how things unfold for this iconic event.
