Dana White is now raising everyone’s expectations for the UFC featherweight championship unification bout to astronomical heights.
The UFC president has been teasing fight fans claiming the promotion are working on securing a massive stadium event for Conor McGregor’s upcoming fight against Jose Aldo.
The plan is to have the fight in the AT & T stadium in Dallas on December 5th, where over 100,000 spectators could pack in to witness arguably the most anticipated fight in featherweight history.
Just when you thought White couldn’t hype the event up any more, he announced after UFC 190 on Sunday that he is eyeing up another UFC superstar for the card.
El Presidente confirmed that they are hoping to put Ronda Rousey’s next title defence on the same card as Aldo vs. McGregor, which will ensure that it becomes the biggest mixed martial arts show in the sport’s history
“I’d like to put her on that card. That card is probably going to be in Dallas, Texas stadium. December (5) I hope so. We’re working on it.”
Rousey is set to fight Miesha Tate next, following her phenomenal 34-second demolition of Bethe Correia in Rio. After annihilating her opponent, she told Fox Sports 1 of her interest in fighting on the same card as the Notorious.
“I would like to be on the Aldo/McGregor card if possible. That would be really cool,”
White’s comments after UFC 190 make it seem like an Aldo vs. McGregor, Rousey vs. Tate 3 megacard is a distinct possibility. The only question that remains is, who’s going to headline?
