“For years, you’ve been sitting there at [NBA] halftime watching the f—ing mascot bounce off a trampoline and dunk a ball,” UFC CEO Dana White told Sportico. “I mean, jugglers and s–t like that. When are you going to evolve? The Super Bowl rolls in these unbelievable concerts. The NBA and all these other sports leagues — and the arenas — are going to start stepping up and changing what the halftime, and the rest of their entertainment other than just the game, looks like. Lenee [Breckenridge], my head of PR, never hears the word ‘no’ from me, ever. She gets what she wants all the time. She’s been torturing me to put out images of the event. I won’t do it. I will not put out one image of this event. You’ll find out Sept. 14 what it looks like, what it is and all the different movies. There are six different movies that will air that night, and not one image will come out before the event.”
