UFC President Dana White is known for his surprises, but this time, he’s taken it to a new level. Ahead of UFC 306, also dubbed “Noche UFC,” White has announced a unique challenge for UFC fans: find all the hidden Easter eggs in a movie that will play during the event, and win $25,000.
The Noche UFC event is set to take place on Saturday, September 14, at The Sphere in Las Vegas, with the card headlined by a UFC Men’s Bantamweight Championship match between reigning champion Sean O’Malley and top contender Merab Dvalishvili. However, beyond the exciting fights, fans will be treated to a cinematic experience that could also be quite lucrative.
The $25,000 Movie Challenge
During a media conference following the fifth episode of the latest season of Dana White’s Contender Series, White revealed his plans for the movie and the accompanying Easter egg hunt. The movie will play out in chapters, with each chapter being shown before one of the fights at UFC 306. White explained that the movie will feature hidden clues, and any fan who manages to find all the Easter eggs will be awarded $25,000.
“There are also going to be Easter eggs in each one of these films, and we’re working it out with legal right now,” White explained during the conference. “But what I want to do is, if somebody can find all the Easter eggs, I’ll give you twenty-five thousand dollars.”
What to Expect at UFC 306
Noche UFC, happening at The Sphere, promises not only high-octane action in the octagon but also an immersive fan experience. UFC 306 will feature several high-profile bouts, with the O’Malley vs. Dvalishvili title fight being the centerpiece of the night. O’Malley, fresh off his championship victory, will look to defend his belt against the relentless Dvalishvili, known for his pressure-heavy style and elite grappling.
The introduction of a movie being played between fights is an unexpected twist for UFC fans, offering a new way to engage with the event. This cinematic addition will allow spectators to both enjoy the action in the cage and have a shot at taking home a major cash prize if they can piece together the clues hidden within each chapter of the film.
How to Participate
While the full details are yet to be confirmed, fans attending UFC 306 or watching the pay-per-view broadcast are expected to have access to the movie and the Easter egg challenge. White noted that the legal aspects of the contest are still being finalized, but he is eager to see fans take on the challenge.
This announcement adds yet another layer of intrigue to Noche UFC, making it a must-watch event for both fight fans and those eager to test their puzzle-solving skills.
With $25,000 on the line and a stacked fight card, UFC 306 is shaping up to be one of the most memorable events of the year.
