Dana White has high expectations for the upcoming Conor McGregor as half of the headliner. All three crossed the $15 million marker, two of which, UFC 229 ($17.7 million) and UFC 264 ($15.75 million), went down at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
After months of White teasing an unbelievable card, fans had mixed reactions to the announcement of the featured bouts at UFC 300. While the card undoubtedly runs deep with the likes of Jiri Prochazka and Aljamain Sterling fighting on the prelims, fans are not immensely impressed with the main and co-main events. Light heavyweight champ Alex Pereira defends his strap against Jamahal Hill in the headliner, and women’s strawweight champ Weili Zhang defends her title against Xiaonan Yan in the co-main. While these are high-caliber matchups, they failed to meet certain expectations after White at one point said that fans "couldn’t even handle the main event."
