MMA-UFC UFC 300 - April 13 (14) 2024 - Alex Pereira vs Jamahal Hill - Las Vegas

[mouncey2franklin]

Dana said in the UFC 298 post fight press conference that they tried three different opponents for Leon Edwards and Leon said yes to all three.

He didn't explain why those three potential opponents didn't sign the dotted line, but mentioned 'timing' and injuries.

Take anything he says with a grain of salt but Dana also said it wasn't to do with money at all.

In any case, by Dana's own words, Pereira vs Hill was, at best, fourth on his priority list for the UFC 300 main event.

And that's without factoring in Izzy, DDP, and whoever else.

It still shapes up as an excellent card overall and we're only two months away.

Phenomenal looking event!
It won't have that mind blowing main event. But overall it's a killer event with a very cool main event !

Khamzat Ramadan, Islam Ramadan, Shavkat injury are the 3 potential match ups I think.
Haha I know sometimes it's bullshit when the UFC doesn't make the right fights but I love that they've just looked at Belal and gone yeah nah haha.

Yeah I mean would be nice to have a massive main event but the whole card is very deep, should be fun.

 

[Topkent]

Even if it was Jones vs Aspinall I don't think Aspinall is big enough to headline 300. Think it was Conor or Rousey or nothing.

Short of the UFC getting some ******* like Jake Paul there is no global UFC stars right now.

 

[RobbyRoy]

So it looks like we're all getting what we wanted - Cody Brundage on the main card of UFC 300

Nickel vs Brundage is quite possibly the most minor fight on this entire card, yet will come after Oliveira vs Tsarukyan!

At least 4 fights on the prelims better too

Could legitimately be the card opener and no one would bat an eyelid.

I'll be treating it as a wmma fight an having a nap during it

Y'all doing Bo Nickal dirty.
In saying that, I'd prefer Green vs Miller in that spot. Miller's final dance n all.

Tell me one thing Bo Nickel has done to make me wanna watch?

Garbrandt vs Figgy is 50x more watchable and that's not even a top 5 fight on the card.

Was thinking more this, Jiri vs Rakic, or Kattar vs Aljo, but sure throw Jim Miller up there as well

Idk why the UFC is pushing the Nickel hypetrain so hard. He has no marketability and seems like a bit of a dickhead.

I'd be ok with it if he was knocking people out left right and centre but he's a wrestler lol. Makes no sense.

I'm guessing he has some sort of profile with US fans because of the Hodge trophy, and they often don't get these gun wrestlers to MMA before they hit they peak. I guess they figure it's a good bet to make, I mean you'd think in 4 years he'll be an absolute beast, I'm sure he'll drop one or two before them.

Miller is much loved. Holds UFC records for most fights and most wins. He fought on 100, 200 and now 300. He could easily be the first fight on ppv.
I hope he gets a send off similar to what Lawler got.. would be awesome.

Even less sense he's getting this push while fighting no one good...

 

[Struggle]

I'm happy about it, will be able to watch an extra high level fight perfect quality on ESPN before dealing with a stuttering video for the main card

Can't deny his popularity but it needs to be on scale. Robbie Lawler he is not. Miller opened the UFC 200 early prelims, 8 years and 9 losses ago. Has no place on the main card even with the good will.

Hill is great value, shows a high level of self-awareness. Which makes his recent behaviour on social media all the more curious.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

7:30am(sa) first fight to kick off the early prelims- Fig vs Garbrandt

300 is gold throughout. For me personally every single fight is a treat.

Nice couple wmma fights for a piss break aswell

I'm pretty keen on all the woman's fights, especially the china showdown.

I’m keen to see Harrison v Holm, I really want to see if she can actually make the weight for starters.

As DazalenkoUBewty said every fight is top shelf, though so was 200 and I feel that event didn’t really live up to the hype. Anyway should be fun!
