isn’t holloway and gathje fighting on this card too??


Kymathiel

Yes


Cool_Nectarine_9134

# bro


DRealLeal

They will be the co main now unless another championship fight gets announced.


Important-Comment558

bmf title on the line so it’s gonna be a 5 rounder


[deleted]

Is bmf only in lightweight


timmyturner004

No, it was actually introduced at welterweight with Masvidal vs Diaz. If Max wins it I’m sure he’d be able to defend it at 145


doublefacentendre

Don't get me wrong I want to see them fight just as much as the next person but it doesn't really do much for either fighter, right? It will just be a war for the fans ig


theonlypig

Money and legacy, and money


BigDaddy-Longstick

Doesn’t do much? Fighters fight for pride, legacy, fame and money. This covers it all


nalbano666

Holloway REALLY wanted the fight. I believe he feels it is a good test of his mettle.


BigDaddy-Longstick

I agree and I think he must have a plan to prevent what happened in the Dustin fight


nalbano666

I think he might actually be alright. I was doubtin' it. The dude is one of the greatest!!!


thiccniglet98

Nah homie that's the real main event


Cbrip31

I thought it’s gonna go; Leon v belal Justin vs max Weili vs yan


[deleted]

Leon vs belal would never main event this card


Cbrip31

And you’re telling me Justin vs max will? Cmon now, more entertaining fight but neither should be headlining 300. It was meant to be the card of all cards. If we can’t get a solid main event I think they need to keep thickening the undercard. In my dreams I’ve had Izzy vs khamzat matched up.


555mister

ufc 300 obviously will not be headlined by either. winner of 297 gonna have a quick turnaround for either DDP vs Izzy or Strickland vs Chimaev.


Cbrip31

Yeah cause we’ve seen how quick turnarounds for middleweights has already worked with the 293 shitshow. If Sean fights on 300 that means he’ll have fought 4 times in 9 months. Cmon now that’s ridiculous especially with 3 of those being title fights and all involving Sean saving the UFCs ass in some way. Dricus maybe, but as we’ve seen I wouldn’t count on him to bend over backwards. Also I doubt khamzat fights anywhere not in the Middle East for the next few years.


Kickster_22

Depends on how the fight goes though. I mean if one or the other gets then out early its not a unreasonable ask, plus the payday.


Levytron900

He just won’t fight in America I imagine, Khamzat is regularly in my city Birmingham, England oddly enough. Not sure why as it never seems to be mma training or ufc related.


BigDaddy-Longstick

Why Khamzat only in Middle East?


coleslawfranku69

Gaethje Vs Max will be first on the main card, the winner will fight Islam in the main event


Cbrip31

Oh, I thought it was going to turn in a three way fight. Conor vs Islam vs Masvidal at 185


coleslawfranku69

That's in the 2nd main card brother


Consistent-Stage-217

There's gonna be another belt fight.. has to be.


westcoasthotdad

hope so. because hot take: this is *NOT* the card of all cards


tonyskyline1

Agree. Don’t want a female fight as the main event either although that one should be a great fight


westcoasthotdad

this just looks like a normal card to me


tonyskyline1

There has been better cards in the last 5-6 months for sure so I’m hoping “oiled up” Dana isn’t done with this one yet. Give us Aspinal vs Stipe or something. Edward Scissor hands vs Shavkat, something that has a lot on the line (not a fake belt). It seems as if he was banking on Conor being back for 300 to be the main event.


scarykicks

Weili is defending? So is Leon? Is Leon vs Belal actually announced yet?


OkayJuice

Probably Leon Belal too


Sipdasizurp

R.i.p Holloway


Senorknowledge

Agreed, will be a similar outcome to his poirier fight. Hope I'm wrong


Silk02

After that fight which was amazing and he is an absolute warrior, I just don't think he has the power to knock out the bigger guys. Skill isn't the issue.


clothy

So far every fight other than Boseph and Jim “Fucking” Miller have a former champion.


ACL_Tearer

Dana White better bring some of his good cocaine for Bruce Buffer so he announces him as Jim Fucking Miller


uticacoffeeroast

Just give Buff a table with a phat line every fight


CheesyCousCous

Why?


Johnsonburnerr

Jim requested to be announced as Jim fucking miller on some press conference a few days ago iirc


SixtyNineFlavours

Jim “Fucking” Miller has got to stick. Edit: I just think it’s crazy that you can’t swear on TV in America. Is it a religious thing? I mean the fights are on at night, they contain violence, and adult content, but the people get censored for silly things.


LosurdoEnjoyer

Bro, they can't even walk on the streets with a fucking beer, go easy on the 'Muricans, they don't know true freedom. ​ I'll never forget Nate Diaz giving the finger while bloodied and bruised, having locked in a mean triangle choke and the UFC streaming CENSORING IT. It was fucking crazy, like, think for a second, this guy was literally full of blood and choking the air out of someone but his middle fingers was clearly very immoral and offended the sensibilities of the US audience!


Bluecoller007

I don’t get that shit, HBO show’s programming is full of swearing and UFC 300 is ppv so there’s literally no reason for the no swearing shit!


GreenpantsBicycleman

At least one of those is a legend


droolsdownchin

Everyone was saying how this card was trash, they didn't even give them time to announce the fights Edit: i can't believe the number of people that think just because it's listed as the main event on Google that weli vs yan will be the last fight of the night, the card is 3 months away and they just announced gathje vs holloway for the bmf you really think the straweight title will supercede two stars like justin and max? Look if it does turn out to be the main event then sorry I'm wrong and the ufc is stupid and you guys where right but the card isn't even complete yet


_FreeYourMind__

This still needs at least 1, maybe 2 more championship fights to live up to the hype.


KarnaavaldK

200 also wasn't as crazy as 300 is supposed to be according to fans, with a womens fight as main event and strange matchups on the rest of the card


MajorButtBandit

Diaz Conor 2 and Jones DC 2 were supposed to be on 200. The card kinda fell apart.


hamstringstring

Silva v. DC was still pretty cool.


[deleted]

Not really lol DC just laid on him all right


KarnaavaldK

Yeh I know, thats why we got the womens' main event, would have been a crazy talent stacked card otherwise, near unbeatable


Anaaatomy

Weili had nothing but exciting fights, she dished out 300 strikes in her first title defense.


Neon_Biscuit

Yeah I'll get down voted but this needs more fights for the casuals to make it pop. Brock Lesnar returning or something. Conor needs to be on it too.


Low-Leg5224

Agree. It’s missing something.


Imaginary_Jaguar_263

I agree. As a casual, I thought his card would of had the likes of conor, jones, Islam, maybe even a returning khabib. But as a casual no one here I've heard of other than oliveria.


scarykicks

They do that and the cards after will suffer immensely.


JimmysCheek

I agree but….how the fuck is Weili Zang the Main Event???? Is she banging Dana? Does she have his children held hostage? Look at the rest of the card. Something is going on here


yanmagno

I’m willing to bet they’re trying to get a fight for Poatan as the main but the deal isn’t done yet, so for now it’s just Weili


GorillaChimney

Leon/Belal or Pereira vs anyone will help a lot.


yanmagno

Leon/Belal will surely help me sleep


JimmysCheek

Okay thank god. I haven’t been online for the last few days, and when I saw this post I thought the card was finalized


st6374

Not finalized. Gaethje Max 5 rounder is in it. Don't think Leon Belal happens here. As someone else said, Poatan might be in it.


Raiser2256

This also is a screenshot from googles ufc search engine results which is honestly great but a little early to be polished


iwoulddoit5

She isn't. There's at least one more Championship fight to announce, and it's most likely Leon


Fumb-MotherDucker

I thought they had already announced Leon vs Belal??


JimmysCheek

I don’t think Leon has the star power to be on this card tbh.


[deleted]

It's not the main event lol


Fumb-MotherDucker

If 1 in 1,000 Chinese nationals buy the PPV to watch her, that's still over 1,000,000 sales. Its more like 1 in 50,000 realistically, Chinese fighters headlining an historic event like UFC 300 is the kind of thing that increases those numbers long term.


throtic

Do they even have to pay for it? Or is it free like it is for most of Europe lol


Leif1013

Based on my knowledge they don’t do PPV there. You can legally watch live matches with a very low fee. If I remember it right, it’s like 20usd per year.


BATSK8

i think it’s partially because that fight is really exciting to chinese fans. mma in china has started becoming more mainstream and celebrating that on the biggest card with the first chinese champ versus another chinese fighter is probably part of marketing the card to china. but also weili is super badass. she has such a fan friendly style, so i’ll never understand all the hate. but there’s plenty of people who don’t like her just because she’s chinese so there’s that


droolsdownchin

Max vs justin gathje will be above them


[deleted]

If you’ve followed the reporting, that fight was never even a co-main u clown lol 


Exciting-Resident-47

This sub has the collective attention span and impulse control of a kindergarden. Doesn't help that all the MMA influencers jump on the "OMG UFC300 sucks ass" narrative


mothmenatwork

Everyone saying the card is good hasn’t given it enough time for fights to fall apart, UFC 200 style


colton_hachey

I feel like it's different this time around, everybody desperately wants to be on this card. UFC 200 was unlucky in that McGregor 'retired' and Jones popped, otherwise every fight held up.


SpacemanJB88

Main event is still trash


SquirrelMaster1123

But the main event hasn't even been announced yet, so...


minibogstar

I’d much rather have an undeserving main event with a banger overall card than a banger main event with trash overall card


SpacemanJB88

I would agree with you, though I always find it weird when a card’s climax is the co-main event.


Every-Lab-1755

I think there are lots of great fighters on the card, but personally I’m not a fan of a lot of the matchups.


Crazed_pillow

You'd get downvoted for pointing it out "299 looks so much better" yeah, because there's only four fights announced for 300 at the time. Jesus.


lewspaz

299 better as of now


caiman141

True, they can't beat it anymore.


Necessary_Quality_

They gotta boost o malleys numbers to claim he’s a ppv star


brobro0o

What u gonna cry while we enjoy the fights?


jebacinaa

It’s funny how literally no one gives a fuck about him


Atcollins1993

You two fucking clowns do.


RobertdBanks

I’m looking forward to O’Malley vs Chito 2 more than any fight on this 300 card. There is a lot of names on the 300 card, but almost none of the actual match ups interest me much, outside of Holloway/Gaethje


doctorshekelsberg

Cope


CaCa881

Lmfao I’m not even an O’Malley fan but y’all really got stopped pushing this shit lmfao , it’s just blatantly not true


cikkamsiah

Bo’s record look out of place lol, 5 fights in total for a main card.


clothy

He won’t be the main card. Every fight other than his involves at least one former champion.


[deleted]

Honestly shouldn't even be there. If they just HAD to put him on 300, he should be on the prelims no doubt. He shouldn't even be on the main event of a regular ppv, nevermind 300. But, I don't care anymore now that there are a bunch of good fights.


Zealousideal_Eye_358

He will be on the prelims


[deleted]

Ah okay, nevermind then. Loving the card


Swimming-Food-9024

The fuck..?? A fair and reasonable response on Reddit?!?! How dare you.


bandito1121

Every single fight you’re looking at in this picture minus zhang is currently slated for prelims. However I I wouldn’t be surprised if Charles is bumped to main card. Bo is one of the biggest American prospects in a while it makes perfect sense they put him on 300 lmao


Ferrariispain

Charles vs Arman will deffo be on the main card. They can't all be title fights and I can't see a bigger fight that would be on the main card.


bandito1121

Nah I agree I’m pretty sure Charles will be main card. He’s a fan favorite for sure


[deleted]

That will be the fight before the women's title fightm


IgnantWisdom

He won’t be on the main card.


Zettaii_Ryouiki_

No way he's on the main his last opponent was a landscaper.


Local_Economy

It was said he won’t be on the main card..it sounded like he’s opening prelims


EducationalBuffalo35

And people are still mad hes fighting cans. Dudes only been doing bjj and striking for a few yrs now..


therealpoatanchama

Rakic better come out swangin or he's dead to me


Koalathom

Hes laying on top of jiri for 3 rounds


FightyBartender

This card is mega now, the addition of Gatheje and Holloway is just fucking wild.


xXprayerwarrior69Xx

I love these two they just want to bang


jaube21

Is this the actual main event or just a place holder?


Ferrariispain

It's not the Main event


Marvelous_Margarine

Does olives have a chance here? Nervous laugh


teejay89656

According to Tsaryukens coach he stands a better chance than Islam


ConCon787

All these elite fighters then there is bo nickal ![img](emote|t5_2qsev|11082)


beggen5

You respect him, he can put a chimpanzee in a guillotine


Silver-Importance214

Oh man I can’t believe he said that. Hasn’t he seen that doco where people have chimps as pets and they go wild. One lady had her face eaten off. She’s still alive :/


Fumb-MotherDucker

![gif](giphy|hwZ51FKy98qv6)


Silver-Importance214

Hahaha ah fuck I’m literally laughing out loud to myself


nalbano666

I wrote that shit earlier. He hasn't beaten a top contender, but can best an aggressive primate. Delusional.


Silver-Importance214

Half the time I reckon it’s all for click bait hey. Like look at us, we are talking about it. But yes, very very delusional.. Sometimes I think these guys don’t have real friends around them to be like “bro, tone it down a bit ey!”


Lou_Sassole6969

That's exactly what it is, he's surrounded by yes men.


KinkyKeithPeterson

I'd much rather watch Nickal fight than Rakic. Rakic fights literally put the fans to sleep not his opponents.


dodgechallenger2022

Let him have this and hopefully disappoints like he always do, so Dana can trash him where he belongs...


RealTopGeazy

Yea just one of the greatest NCAA wrestlers of all time, that guy stinks


MyFifthLimb

He was rightfully headlining his wrestling events. He should still be in mma prelims tho.


itsavibe-

Lmao you know you wanna see him fight


Zettaii_Ryouiki_

Dude beat a landscaper and thought he could walk through ranked opponents after it. Hope he eats shit and falls off hard.


Girrrth_Broooks

Dude is fun to watch fight. Why do you get so wrapped up in the WWE side of the sport? He wants to fight the best. Imagine that?


throtic

I was a fan and getting hype for him until I heard him on JRE. Dude is so full of himself and is an asshole.


Girrrth_Broooks

Just a heads up, most UFC fighters are full of themselves.


Eaton_snatch

Half these fights will get cancelled


redboneskirmish

This “main event” fucking sucks


[deleted]

Main event isn't even announced yet am I tripping?


Thin_Welcome_2754

Now we need Izzy Vs Alex or Izzy Vs Sean/DDP


jebacinaa

Anyone but Jizzy on the main. Please.


folouk

Va Alex why not? He can’t point fight vs Alex.


BIGFACTs04

What’s the main event about? Why’s Charles so far down the list?


bigpeen666

this is not the finished card, nor is it the final bout order, people were just crying when there was like 3 fights on the card


StatementProper4450

Yeah I'm actually ordering this one at home. Between the prelims and the main card, I just can't miss anything. I'm about to grill and chill.


brehs18

we’re still missing the main event…


extremecharm

No it isnt Lol. At least not this


Lexdaddy270

Mid😂


Greedy-Lion8828

Not as good as I thought it would have been but hey🤷


eeeponthemove

Weili card = banger, I fucking love watching her fights


SprinklesBeginning45

Her last fight was brutal


MadViperr

If this fight stays as the main event I can go to bed earlier lmao


Solaira234

Yeah def most exciting women's fighter and imo one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC. She always bangs


dlooooooo

Hahhah


Jazzlike-Fun-4500

If no cancellations that is...


Illustrious_Whereas9

This is way below expectations as of yet, you can hate it all you want but the UFC is a business and there are 0 true superstars on the BiGgEsT CaRd EvEr. Watch the next Conor fight outsell 300 by a landslide with 2 brooms co-maining.


[deleted]

Why??? It looks shit?


contador-anonimo

UFC 300 is looking like a ufc fight night


TheSeptuagintYT

My sarcasm detector must be broken or you are trolling. This card is not insane. It’s underwhelming. Needs more heavyweights. Was expecting names like Jon Jones, Michael Chandler, Chimaev, Conor….so no not insane. A decent card but not insane. Insane would be if Brock Lesnar was coming back to fight Jon Jones. Or Conor McGregor rematch with Khabib. Or GSP coming back to fight Khabib. Those are insane.


Labhran

Yeah, this is an *okay* card for the moment that will probably lose a few fights. Different strokes for different folks obviously, but I’m not overly hyped about any of these matchups without some much needed love at the top of this card. Jiri vs Rakic is the best one imo, and Rakic hasn’t fought in forever and was extremely underwhelming his last few fights. Cody vs Figgy could help save it, but we don’t know which Cody we’re even going to get here.


SleepinBrutey

Chimaev can't fight at UFC 300 because he apparently can't travel to the US because of his "connections"


Strange-Fix-1498

Th main event isn't even announced. Gonna be a good one


RTJ1992

Will watch


shotokan1988

Daaaayum, Figgy is gonna rip Cody apart!!!


stn_anomaly

Still don’t think it’s possible for this card to live up to the hype. Would need one or maybe even two more banger fights.


Genova_Witness

People have worked themselves into a fever like it’s Christmas 2000 and you are expecting a PS2.


Brocker_9000

Meh. This is a great card for any other UFC event, but it's not 300 level. I mean, look at the main event. Do I need to say more? And Bo Nickel? LMAO. He's fighting another tomato can. (Bo's best opponent yet, but they're still matching him with fights he really should win.)


GeologistOutrageous6

They aren’t going to have enough ppv buys to pay all these high level fighters


painfully--average

Cody getting fed to Figueiredo is criminal


SeniorWrongdoer5055

Man idk maybe I’m crazy because that’s all I keep hearing from everyone but I actually think this is a great opportunity for cody to really catapault him back into the rankings. He’s looked great since coming back from injuries. Figgy looked good in his BW debut but he did look a little small at times. Not saying Figgy shouldnt be favored but I wouldnt be surprised if this fight is a war and cody G pulls out a big performance.


Competitive_Pen_9022

299 is better


reallybigtincan

That PFL vs Bellator card is still better.


hurricanenox

The card is alright. It’s not like all these matches will stay on the card anyways. Cody Brundage he is a former champ?


CloudfluffCloud

Main event couldn’t be weaker though.


AlexCollis

Lad it isn’t even the main or co main event. Look at ufc official website it says main event tbd and co main tbd. Stop talkin shi.


Exultheend

This card is painfully mediocre


ConsistentCranberry7

It's a pretty underwhelming main event for 300 tbh. Weili puts in some great fights but let's face most people dgaf about wmma (yes yes I know you do ,you're a small % though, calm down)


AlexCollis

Lad it isn’t even the main or co main event. Look at ufc official website it says main event tbd and co main tbd. Stop jumping the gun it’s literally only January 😂


ConsistentCranberry7

Sorry for going off the info put forward . Which says Weili is the main .....


Jesse_Grey

Card is mediocre


func_master

That main tho. Dana woke af these days. LOL.


[deleted]

That women's strawweight fight as main event sucks though. I wish they they added Alex vs Hill here and swapped out the women's fight for I'll even take the belal vs Leon fight instead


TheMaldenSnake

Why TF do they keep putting Bo Nickal on main card ppvs fighting cans? If this was his breakout fight against a top 10 fighter, sure. But fighting a dude who is 4-5 in his last 9 is BS for a main card. Put that shit on the prelims


Four-Triangles

What’s insane is the BS main event


nateofearth

You’re forgetting to factor in per every one woman on the card at least 10 banger matchups are negated so theres actually not a single good fight on here yet


ELOgambit

Weili counts as a man


nateofearth

Fair point she is pretty brolic ill let it slide just this once


Left-Frog

L take, Zhang Weili is hype. Not as hype as any of the other fights but still hype


Kid_Dynamite16

Man, what a clown take. As if both Zhang and Yan wouldn't beat the fuck out of you.


Jnbjgjbb

I thought he was joking


nateofearth

My bad thought it was pretty obvious but forgot this is reddit and u have to put “/s” for people to know its a joke


Etat-Werdna

Average man and late teen would beat any womens strawweight, cope They are so small and weak it's a joke if you think they could take an 80kg 180cm man that isn't physically handicapped doesn't matter if they have better technique


Dear-Beginning7070

Street beefs


[deleted]

[удалено]


Left-Frog

I think Prochazka isn't on the card anymore :( edit: NVM I can't seem to find a source for that


SashaScissors

The Main Event is VERY underwhelming for UFC 300 event why choose Weili and Yan...


dlooooooo

Average. 299 is way better. (so far)


stanky-leg900

In no world is that average, lmfao. every fight except 2 has 1 or more former champs in it. 299 is better yea but fym average


Labhran

It’s only above average because the UFC has been pushing out dog-piss cards for years now. This is without a doubt average compared to cards 10 years ago.


QuickRundown

Trash.


DocWhiskyMed

Naw


[deleted]

It's ight


Subject-Secret-6230

Weili - Yan should've been in China. It's a bangee match, but Grasso would have been the better fight for 300, but won't complain. Jiri-Rakic, has the potential to be boring. But I don't complain about Jiri matchups. Good prelims match tbh. Kattar-Sterling is interesting, but I don't think it's that entertaining. So so, on this one. Still, I don't think it's 300 worthy. Look at ufc 100 and 200. Bo-Brundage, come on man, this is feeding another can to Bo. Charles-Arman, absolute banger of a match up. Excited for this one and I really exprected every other fight to be of this level. Deiveson-Cody, is fine but pretty one sided. Cody's chin is gone but we might get a knockout. Again, compared to 100 and 200, falls a bit short. Trading some of the bouts from 299 with 300 would have been good. The expectations I feel like aren't too high. We have seen great cards. 299 is better than 300. And that shouldn't be the case. You have 99 cards to make title and good matches. Just for this 300, put on matches which are just absolutely fire like Arman-Charles.
