It's not a title fight so how would that even work?
Despite it being fake, it wouldn't surprise me if this was close to the actual main event they put on. They'll stack this June card sadly.

Yeah they would... 'they' as in the UFC. Remind me of the last time UFC announced any fight 4+ months ahead of time lol.
A non title fight? Why?This was the fight I was hoping would main event UFC 300
Dana White announces first UFC 300 bookings with Prochazka-Rakic, Sterling-Kattar, Bo Nickal
The historic UFC 300 lineup has its first trio of fights as UFC CEO Dana White rolled out some matchups on Thursday.mmajunkie.usatoday.com
That's fair but that was also a pretty rare thing to do. To clarify I was specifically referring to main events / title fights getting announced with dates that far away.
Still this is basically a very rare thing they do. A clear exception to the normal way they do things. Any examples for fights from 2021-2023 you can produce?
We knew O'Malley vs Vera 2 was going to be next as soon as O'Malley won the belt. Very different than some alleged out of nowhere fight like Adesanya-Chimaev which doesn't even make sense when DDP-Adesanya is clearly the priority to make.
Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic heavyweight title fight set to headline UFC 295 in November
One of the most anticipated fights in UFC history is finally happening. It’ll be Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic at Madison Square Garden.mmajunkie.usatoday.com
I do think you are right, in a way. It all changed during COVID, and it seems they are okay with announcing fights later than they used to.
Sorry, I don't mean to pick on you. I see sherdoggers claim things all the time without evidence to back it up. I was just being fussy
I think ur discounting UFC pettiness (if DDP is truly holding out for UFC Africa). They would do chimaev vs adesanya if both parties agree, imoStill this is basically a very rare thing they do.
