News Dana White announcing more UFC 300 fights

[JoeRowe]

A fight I wanted but I need BIGGER.

Patience. We're 5 fights in. He will announce a cpl more tmrw(7), a cpl more next week (9-10), then 297 will probably play out before announcing the final 2-4 fights. Still 3 months out.

Jesus Christ what a bunch of whiners. The card will be amazing just be patient

 

[MileHigher]

Look out

dont try to have any fun with this guy around!

You’re misunderstanding my point. All I’m saying is I won’t be bitter or disappointed if UFC 300 isn’t this special and amazing all-time great card. If it is, well that’s great but either way we have some great fights to look forward to. I’m not going to feel ripped off as a fan.

I’m all for fun, I just don’t get these people complaining about a card that isn’t even set yet. My perspective is actually the optimistic one.

Exactly. People will find something to complain about regardless though.

Im aware they can only make the card the best they can with the circumstances they find themselves in. I am just saying I appreciate them trying to do that. It's fun to see what they got. They SHOULD try to do that.

Lmao!!

It's Zhang vs Yan....


So much for the big announcement.

 

[Arcticman]

Brock lesnar vs jim miller main event or riot!

 

[Poirierfan]

I'm blown away, a wmma fight? This fight alone could rival AJ vs Francis.

 

[Hank Grill]

I sometimes doubt the Baldfather... sometimes I don't think he has the JBG on his mind. I have a feeling through a shitshow of events this is the headline for ufc 300.

More I think about it, the more I am fairly sure that this is what will happen :

- Adesanya has been promised a title-shot fight against the winner of Strickland and du Plessis at UFC300. And both Strickland and du Plessis have already been told that.

So.... Dana is just waiting until the result of that fight on Jan 20th is known, and within a week or two (assuming no bad injuries from the Jan20th fight), UFC will announce Adesanya vs Strickland OR Adesanya vs Du Plessis as the main event 185lbs title-fight at UFC300.

Short-ish turnaround?? Yes it is -- it's a week less than 3months but UFC won't care. It's about the biggest fight that they can do that doesn't involve McG or Jones or Makhachev. UFC have invested a lot of money into building up Adesanya and they'll want some continued payback on that investment.

I think the co-main at UFC300 very likely to be Leon Edwards vs someone (prob Belal).

Edit : I guess Pereira vs Adesanya at 205lbs is also a possibility but that is a VERY tough fight for Adesanya and I just don't think he'll want to do that, going up 20lbs to fight the monster that Pereira is...... straight after a loss to Strickland at 185lbs? I cannot see it. I think he needs an "easier" fight, one that both he and UFC believe is more winnable and that's either Strickland II or Du Plessis I.

Yan Xiaonan? The one who got TKO'd by Carla Esparza? And is on a two fight win streak?

HUGE IF TRUE

 

[Sasha]

IMO they’re patiently waiting for fighters booked for that extraordinary 299 card to pull out, so they can build a decent card for 300 !

 

[svmr_db]

Yan Xiaonan? The one who got TKO'd by Carla Esparza? And is on a two fight win streak?

HUGE IF TRUE

Strickland got knocked out by Pereira and look what he did to Izzy just over a year later, never know what to expect in this sport.

Dana "the tease"White

 

[Kryptt]

I mean wasn't a mega announcement but it's a good fight and one folks were talking about for awhile.

I for one am glad it's on and I think it's easily 300 quality.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

All the fights so far for UFC 300 are all good matchups, no complaints from me, they are all good fights.. but there is nothing to make me go WOW I can't sleep if I don't see that fight, I'm still waiting for some incredible fights that make me really feel its special.

 

[Koya]

What fights do you think will be announced tonight, will one of them be the main event?

I think either a fight with Pereira will get announced tonight or Gaethje vs Holloway for the BMF title.

update:

It's lame I tought they'd do Grasso vs Zhang

 

[svmr_db]

It's lame I tought they'd do Grasso vs Zhang

Grasso didn't even successfully defend her belt yet, why should she get a champ vs champ fight? Also Zhang only has one defense so far. Too early to make that fight imo.

[93confirmed]

The rumors that I’ve read is that Brock Lesnar now identifies as a woman and will fight for the vacant WMMA super HW belt against Rhonda Rousey.

Take my money!
