News 3 fights announced for UFC 300

[Siver!]

These are three of more than likely 13-15 fights. They're all good ones as well. I don't understand the complaints in here.

We're in "Festival line up" announcement territory lol

The first 10 bands never satisfy everyone, but as the line up fleshes out, it gets more and more promising.

Difference is, festival line ups usually start top down, whereas we're getting a couple of wonky fights first for some reason.

Even if these were booked, I'd have waited before announcing them.

They're just not that good lol

5.

A win over Brundage is a net negative.

Premature hype can have this effect, though.

If everyone is talking about Nickal taking huge fights right away, then we're still getting Brundage after 4 fights in the UFC/DWCS, it suggests he's not actually very good.

Don't forget, people are still looking for a Brock Lesnar-type figure who can fight for the title right away.

If Bo Nickal isn't a Brock Lesnar-type, don't sell him as one, it will only serve as a millstone around his neck.

He’s a prospect, he’s still green so they don’t want to throw him to the wolves yet. He might be able to beat the entire top 10 right now but it’s best to let him gain experience and develop his skillset

I have to admit I was expecting something better than Brundage. Dana said people would be impressed seeing the first prelim fight, but this is not it for me. Nickal beats him easily.

 

[SuperNerd]

I feel like a lot of newer fans are expecting Fedor vs Brock type matchups for 300, is gonna be a lot of high ranked guys and Conor or 2 titles as main.

It's interesting how these numbers hype themselves.

If I remember right.. When UFC 100 started coming into view, and the fans were getting the hyped, discussing possibilities, Dana and the UFC didn't have any plans to make it special originally. It wasn't a circled date.

But they jumped on the momentum and stacked the card.

Chill guys, the fights are confirmed, but card placement hasn't been.

But really it has. No chance Aljo or Jiri, single losses removed from being champs, are brought in to just be buried on the earlier prelims.

Basically in a stacked card you would expect the 5 PPV spots plus the TV prelim 'main event' to be big fights.

We now know what 2 of those 6 fights are, and they have been met with the appropriate 'meh'.

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Not looking stacked at all just by those 3

No one is happy with anything.

Was expecting a bigger fight for Bo considering it is UFC 300.

Do you not remember UFC 200?

What I'm saying is, the hype and reality becomes jarring when he's still fighting Cody Brundage in his 6th fight lol

This is Bellator booking.

I agree that they should develop and let him gain experience, but they've already pumped him full of steroid-level-hype so it's kinda the late stages for that, everyone is expecting some bang for their buck.

Cody Brundage is terrible, and a risk-averse booking.

Bo is still a top quality wrestler, even if he's weak in a few areas. Give him someone like Abu Azaitar, someone who looks dangerous on paper but who would be generally useless against a wrestler.

Not happy with that comment

Just kidding.

Aljo-Kattar is my favourite of those fights, and one I hadn't really considered before.

Just as it is too early to declare this card a dud (but I'm predicting it will ne), it's too early to smear Dana's dick cheese all over your keyboard frantically trying to defend it when the only 3 fights announced so far are kind of shit.

 

[podsox]

Bo playing the role of sage northcut, aljo the role of TJ, and jiri the role of Hendricks

I really like that fight.

and I'm getting tired of saying this about top 5 ranked fighters... but I'm concerned about both guy\s milage.

 

[IneedSometop]

There is literally nothing to complain about here. But I’m sure everyone will find a way

 

[Dr Fong]

Do you not remember UFC 200?

Yes, it ended up sucking balls and I predict UFC 300 will be the same. Just without the piss-stained mat.

Very early days, but that's a sleeper.

Potential Fight of the Night.

Can see some real chaos in that one, especially if they are both a little battle-worn!

 

[HHJ]

lol they announce three fights,and already its ruined in the eyes of casuals.

NO! I WANTED THOSE THREE FIGHTS TO BE BETTER!

as if it matters who Jiri is fighting.

Must see TV bitch.

Bo Nickal should have fought for a smaller org for a couple years if he wanted to crush cans. I kind of hope he gets KO'd now.
