Dana White has confirmed that the recent blockbuster UFC event will not be repeated, calling it a once-in-a-lifetime production that came with an eye-watering price tag.

Speaking after the historic fight night, White said the event was an incredible experience but far too expensive to ever attempt again. The promotion reportedly spent around $60 million staging the card and is said to have taken a loss running into tens of millions.

The night itself delivered nonstop action, with all seven bouts ending in knockouts or technical knockouts for the first time in UFC history. The main event between Justin Gaethje and Ilia Topuria stole the spotlight, ending after Topuria sat out between the fourth and fifth rounds.

Josh Hokit also drew attention after a win over Derrick Lewis. The event closed with a large fireworks display, closing off a night packed with finishes, drama, and amazement.
