They should have let Conor carry UFC 300

[The Boomerang]

UFC 100 did 1.3
UFC 200 did just over a mil

Now we’re at 300 with no stars

Will the gimmicks like BMF belt, new gloves, 300k bonuses etc… be enough to carry this card to a mil?
Probably not

Should have let Conor carry it imo

Thought?

 

[Wreckless]

Conor wasn't ready to fight at 300. If he was, they would've booked it.

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

Should’ve had masvidal and Nate at least

...fuck off casual.

It is pretty wild that basically no one cares about 2 of the 5 fights on the main card. Still gonna be a great night of fights because of how strong the prelims are though. Definitely lacks star power that would draw mainstream interest. Conor, Jones, Izzy, Nate, Francis, Stipe and even Aspinall would have drawn a lot more eyes to the event had things played out differently.

Only being a fan of obscure fighters doesn’t make u special

Which 2?
I understand the Bo fight, but the rest are bangers.

How can you be a part of these forums and still be buying into the Conor hype. Dude is finished and has been for years

 

[LostMyBlackBelt]

He can carry it in his pretty purse.

Hes been ready for quite some time.

They shouldve put him on and took some folks off.

Guaranteed, this was what they were going to do, but conor likely demanded more money than theyd allow. Dana was asked a question about it and he danced around it, giving bullshit.

Maybe because whether anyone likes conor or not, hes learned through all these years that conor still sells


300 should be aimed AT casuals more than usual because WE are already going to see it.

Obscure... do you know how many current or ex champions are on this card?

...on second thought, you probably don't.

 

[Ginn]

I have 0 interest in this card. The only few names I recognize are all guys that should be fighting in the undercard.

Being an ex champion doesn’t make u mainstream

Co main. Five round women's strawweight fight where the challenger has one finish from ten fights in the UFC. You really excited for that?

I'd say Weili is the best female fighter in the UFC and Yan Xiaonan is a stand up fighter.

Should be a fun scrap. Joanna vs Weili type style matchup.

Who gives a fuck if noobs like you don't know who fighters who've been champions in the worlds largest MMA organisation are?

They ARE the stars of this sport.

 

[markys00]

Ready or not, putting Conor on 300 would be a big waste. 300 will be selling high with or without him.

He's a solo ppv. Even without a belt I think

 

[KarateYeah]

Fuck Conor

He's not the same fighter and not even the same person

Would it bring more views? Sure

Do I care? No, cause I ain't getting paid so fuck their business...I appreciate all Conor did but never want to see him fight again

 

[Snake Fist]

It should have been Diaz vs McGregor UFC 200
