Win $25K just by watching UFC 306 with Dana White's 'Easter Egg' treasure hunt… 'We're working it out with legal'

At UFC 306, aka Noche UFC, this weekend at The Sphere, the promotion will run what it's calling a 'movie' between the fights themselves – and there's more than one reason why fans at home should be tuning in to watch the feature film.
In fact, UFC President Dana White has just revealed that the promotion has hidden various 'easter eggs' inside the movie as a fun little treasure hunt, with a pretty large sum of money going to whichever fan can find them all.
Dana White reveals 'Easter Egg' treasure hunt with $25,000 prize pool
After another explosive episode of Dana White's Contender Series last night, the UFC President sat down with reporters to not only hype up the latest batch of contract winners but also this weekend's enormous PPV at The Sphere.
As Dana White explained how the in-house 'movie' will work, which will reportedly show the history of combat sports in Mexico, he also revealed that there is a sweet $25,000 on the line for one lucky eagle-eyed fan.
"There's [this] movie, [and] there's chapters – each chapter starts before the next fight, so there will be a show open, then the first movie will run, and it will end at the end of the fight.
"Then, we call them 'worlds' and the fight will live inside this world and the world will evolve while the fights are going on, but it will be very subtle."
According to White, the visual spectacle of these chapters will also include various 'easter eggs' that have been hidden throughout the film and if a fan can find all of them, they'll win $25K.
"Clouds will move, fires will burn, birds will fly, or whatever the hell is going on in that world at that time, and it will slowly evolve during the fight.
"There are also going to be Easter eggs in each one of these films. We're working it out with legal right now, but what I want to do, if somebody can find all the Easter eggs, I'll give you $25,000."
Whilst White refused to elaborate on the kinds of 'easter eggs' that will be included in this Mexican-themed treasure hunt, he did confirm that each hidden gem is "related to the show."
The easter eggs will also exclusively run in the films from the main card opener onwards: "This is during the main card, so the show will progress throughout the night."
Dana White reveals the one 'biggest challenge' with the Noche UFC show
If it wasn't obvious already, Dana White and the UFC team are immensely proud of the way in which UFC 306 is shaping up – but what was the biggest challenge of hosting a live sports event at The Sphere?
"Lighting. Yeah, there's no lighting rig – this will be the first event in the history of the company and probably in the history of combat sports where there isn't a lighting rig hanging over the octagon."
"So you have lights, cameras, microphones, different audio all up in that trusting up there and that's all gone – so that was the big first challenge."
UFC 306 goes down this weekend live from The Sphere in Las Vegas.
