Listen...I was one of the guys sh*ting on 300....BUT

[Arm Barbarian]

I think a good deal of us can admit, this card freaking DELIVERED.

There were a TON of dope fights and finishes on this one.

Even the early fights had some great finishes.

Moicano
Jiri

I think it was a great card on paper and in practice. Think it was merely a victim of expectations, which were raised to a near unattainable level.

 

[AldoStillGoat]

Where’s the fuckin apology

 

[Flower2dPeople]

Bo Nickal saved this can of a card.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

It delivered alright

Lots of Damage done!

 

[HolmeZy55]

I think it helped that uncle Dana upped the performance bonuses giving fighters more incentive to just bleed.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

The Jiri fight being on the prelims instead of Bo Nickels was shameful

 

[markantony20]

I think the thing is that the card on paper is really good.

It would be a ppv worthy card regardless.

Its just that for UFC 300 I think people expected more star power than we got, but it was always going to be a very good card.

 

[modulus]

Not a Dana fan, but damn, one of the best cards I've ever seen.

The crowd was hyped too and filled the place from the first prelim, it helped with the excitement and vibe for sure.. Take a hint Dana.

 

[TCE]

Agreed.

You're forgetting Bobby/Miller, as well. What a fight, and a just bleed brawl.

Oh well, glad you were pleasantly surprised.

100% - but you can tell who the ufc want to be in the title picture. the all american wrestler - who once again crushes a can.

A lot of the people online, or at least on sherdog, are very quick to hate on something because Dana White says it is going to be good. It is a weird form of contrarianism. Same thing happens with legitimate prospects. A lot of people need to focus more on fights and fighters and less on weird business drama.

Yeah, who can forget the huge push the ufc gave jon fitch. They are always favoring american wrestlers.

 

[World eater]

It was great. I didn’t sleep at all last night (prelims started at 2am, main event at 4am) and am still here typing at half past 9. If I squint hard enough and ignore the Aljo and Bo fights, one of the best events in recent (and not so recent) memory.

There is a saying I like and try to follow:

"Under promise and over deliver."

It is a smart way to live life and manage your business and personal affairs.

Dana's version is:

"Run your mouth all the time and never admit you were wrong."


So... yeah.
