Dana White and company are pulling out all the stops this weekend to help promote UFC 306 from inside The Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada, and this includes the release of a wild “Venom: The Last Dance” video trailer featuring the UFC CEO and UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley.
As you may know, UFC is staging Noche UFC this weekend in effort to pay tribute to Mexican fighting. They’ve compiled a top-heavy (yet very exciting) fight card from inside The Sphere and plan to deliver the greatest live combat event of all time. It’s not going to matter if Canelo Alvarez is fighting later tonight right down the Las Vegas strip.
The event is becoming such a big deal that UFC, White, and everyone involved are doing everything they can to promote it. Luckily, the promotion had some extra ammunition up their sleeve on Saturday as White released a “Venom” trailer on his social media account. The promo featured “Venom” actor, Tom Hardy, as well as White and UFC 306 headliner, O’Malley.
It was about a 60-second clip that shows White working in his office as Hardy walks in asking for money. The UFC CEO eventually kicks “Venom” out, but hears him get into a scuffle outside his office. White opens the door to find Hardy choking out O’Malley, who says, “He’s literally not human.”
It was pretty clever and a great way to carry fight fans into tonight’s festivities. Check out the trailer in the above player.
