Shortly after the victory of Conor McGregor at UFC 189, last Saturday (11), president Dana White declared that the unification of the belt between the Irishman and the Brazilian José Aldo would take place in Las Vegas (USA). However, the manager may be changing his mind and planning to take the match to the “AT&T Stadium”, the stadium of the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL (American Football League), with a capacity for more than 100 thousand fans.
At least that's what the North American website “Yahoo Sports” guarantees. According to the publication, it would not be possible for the organization to carry out its original plan, to promote the fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, as the venue is already booked for December 5th, the date of UFC 194, a possible event to see the unification of the titles. .
Given this, and the fact that Dana did not want to take the confrontation to Mandalay Bay (another Casino Hotel from the same group, but with a capacity for only 12 thousand fans), the organization would be considering promoting its long-awaited first event in a stadium in history .
An event at the “AT&T Stadium”, located in the city of Arlington (Texas), has been an old dream for Ultimate, but the plan never got off the ground. For Dallas Cowboys games, the stadium has a capacity for just over 105 people. The arena has also been the site of boxing matches, but with a reduced capacity of approximately 40 thousand fans.
