Dana White and the Chocolate Factory 🍫
If somebody can find all the easter eggs, I’ll give you $25,000. – Dana White
In recent UFC news, Dana White has announced a big surprise for this weekend’s UFC 306 card. It feels like something out of a fictional movie like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but Dana White has announced a handsome prize of $25,000 to the first person to find the carefully placed easter eggs in the videos at ‘UFC Noche’ from the Sphere in Las Vegas this weekend.

On Saturday night, the UFC will host a historic event from the newly minted venue, as the UFC will put on the first live sporting event ever to take place in the Sphere. UFC 306 will take place in a beautiful location and may go down as one of the most badass UFC events in history.
Current bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley will face off against Merab Dvalishvili in the main event. With two title fights and a spot as cool as the Sphere, this night will be kickass. The bad news? It costs about an arm and a leg to attend, with floor seats going for as much as $15,000.

An Easter Egg Hunt…in September?
There won’t be an Easter bunny or any candy, but there is $25,000 on the line. Dana White told reporters in the press conference following Dana White’s Contender Series last night that, “There are also going to be easter eggs in each one of these films. We’re working it out with legal right now, but what I want to do, if somebody can find all the easter eggs, I’ll give you $25,000.”
Dana White explains how #NocheUFC at the Sphere will work:
“There’s a movie that’s gonna run in the Sphere. There are chapters to this movie. So before each fight is a movie, and you will be focused on the Sphere and the screen.

In a not-so-funny fashion, that amount is more than some of the fighters will even make for fighting on this card. Still, the PR move from White is another way to drive viewers to the card, which will certainly be one of the biggest events the UFC will ever hold. White has also stated that this event in the Sphere will be a one-and-done, as the UFC has no intentions of ever returning to the venue.
The expectations for ‘UFC Noche’ have been hyped up almost more than UFC 300, which White basically sold his soul promoting. The card was delivered for sure, but ‘UFC Noche’ is going to be even better according to White.
While I don’t feel like selling a kidney just to attend it live in person, I will definitely be watching for those easter eggs to try and collect $25,000 from the UFC CEO.
