Dana White ‘plans’ to have packed, sold out arenas in Florida or Las Vegas ‘this summer’

While live sports and events are mostly operating with fans at partial capacity, Dana White says he wants to have fully packed arenas soon. Almost a year since he had full sold out arenas in the UFC, White says he plans to put events filled with fans in a few months.

“I’m not doing a percentage. I want a sell out,” White said at the UFC 258 post-fight press conference. “I’ve got plans too.

“I’m optimistic that this summer, by this summer, we could be doing it either in Florida or here (in Las Vegas).”

A lot can change in a few months, but there are still a lot of COVID-19 restrictions in both Florida and Nevada that prevent White’s goal of fully packed arenas.
