Dana White blasts the NHL Draft ahead of first UFC event in the Las Vegas Sphere
The UFC President Dana White announced an event at the Las Vegas Sphere and didn't shy away from blasting the NHL Draft in a press conference.
Dana White announced that UFC 306 will go down in September at the Las Vegas Sphere, where the NHL Draft was held at the end of June.
While most NHL fans can agree that this year's draft was fun to watch, White completely destroyed Gary Bettman and the NHL for how they used the Sphere.
He blatantly said that compared to what the UFC will do at the Sphere, the NHL will look like "Kids playing with f***ing crayons."
Check out his massive declaration in the video below:
Taking a look at some of hockey experts' opinions on the draft, it's hard to see why White made such a statement.
This venue is mind-blowing. 🤯 #NHL had the vision and pulled it off—with a Herculean lift behind the scenes on creative, graphics, and show flow. Well done. 👏🏻"
The UFC President will be under pressure to deliver after his comments. All eyes will be on him, in September, for UFC 306.
More to come.
