100, 200, 300; which monumental UFC card was the most stacked from top to bottom?

[WoozyFailGuy]

100, 300, 200.
It's the only card that was big enough for GSP to defend his title as co-main, that alone speaks volumes as to how huge that card was. JJ was put on the prelims for exposure, the UFC knew they had a star in him.
300 is a great card stacked top to bottom that will age like fine wine.
If 200 had gone along as was planned with Diaz/McGregor and Jones/Cormier, it would have won out on entertainment alone, but alas. Every 9 months or so I forget who headlined 200.

UFC 100 still gets me hard.

UFC 100 was before my days in this sport but it looks absolutely fantastic on paper. #1

UFC 200 alot of money was won on Amanda and Brock. #2

UFC 300 looks a bit meh but I think that's because of how good 299 was. #3

 

[Papasmurf45619]

100 was the most top heavy for sure with Brock/Mir 2 and then GSP as the co main. The rest of that card was good, but nothing compared to 200 and 300. As @blaseblase pointed out, the undercard in hindsight looks better than it actually was at the time.

200 had the last minute fuckery for the main event(s), but still had a tremendously stacked card all together. Frankie vs Aldo for the title as the 2nd fight on the main card is nuts.

300 has a better main event then 200 (obviously) but it still just feels a little bit thrown together. It  pales in comparison to the sheer magnitude of the Brock/Mir rematch. The size, the story, the characters, two titles, etc. Like 200 though, it is an absurdly stacked under card.

200>300>>100

200 and 300 are close but 300 has one more WMMA fight (as well as them being obnoxiously spread throughout the card) so 200 wins, as petty as that is.

 

[Streeter]

200 before Bones v DC was eliminated.

300 is likely most stacked p4p. 200 is still close.


100 while it gets remembered as the greatest wasn't nearly on paper.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

UFC 100 on Sherdog - Brock Madness

UFC 200 on Sherdog - Conor and Jones Fallout Madness

UFC 300 on Sherdog - How awful UFC 300 is Madness?

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

SO true, it was a legit milestone. It was do or die through to at least UFC 40, but still a tiny amount of profit.

Now we have UFC 300, which is actually like the UFC's 700th event.

100%, i would even say it wasn't until the late 40s UFCs to where they finally were turning around. then obviously, with the ultimate fighter, that finale fight was the end that put them over. but to reach 100 was a true legitimate milestone, an ode to the work ethic, against all odds business acumen, all of that shit. UFC 300 just feels like another event. the marketing, the poster, the just general level of excitement, no "big" stars like the previous eras, it just feels like another somewhat rushed card, full of hope, but in the end delivering the status quo.

 

[McGeezle]

When the main event was changed from McGregor/Diaz + Jones/DC > DC/Silva + Brock/Hunt. Nunes/Tate just so happened to be the only legit title fight to headline.

They didn't need a legit title fight to headline hence the original headliner you mentioned and given that brock was there.
I still don't know what this magic was other than reshuffling the card

Magic was pulling Brock/Hunt out of no where. Brock could sell a PPV even today if he hopped on board by himself. Then Anderson Silva could sell a PPV at that time and he came last minute. Not many names on 300 can hold a PPV alone. Like if you just took the fight booked and filled it with a nobody card underneath, it wouldn't get good buys.

Any Questions?

Thank you for my new desktop pic

the first time ive noticed jim miller on all three, that man is a legend.

 

[BjPenn2017]

300 isn’t in even the same realm as UFC 100 or 200.

 

[Neck&Neck]

UFC 420 is going to be my jam

 

[Fight Professor]

Obviously Lesnar, GSP, Hendo and Sexyama

 

[Minnja]

For me it’s

300
100
200

200 was almost amazing but the card fell apart and that yellow canvas is ugly af for the UFC. I was not too hyped for 100 too tbh. Did not care much for Lesnar and GSP was so much better than anyone else I only ever picked against him hoping to see something new happen in the division

I think 300 is stacked. Not the same name power as Lesnar or GSP but to me the matchups are way better

 

[gentel]

300 by far, like even if Jones was on 100, he was up against Jake O'Brien so that's not a stacked matchup

300 only really has two bad matchups - Nickal vs Brundage and Figueiredo vs Garbrandt. The rest are quite close in terms of betting odds

 

[Gio]

100 for sure. It was epic. It was the golden years of UFC

 

[chaos_36]

rose tinted? I watched UFC 100 live, that card was stacked lol

Yeah I've watched every numbered event live since UFC 48 and 100 was not that great. Brock was what 3 fights into his career? I'm not a GSP fan and knew that was an easy win so that was a hard pass. I love Hendo so that fight was the shit. Jon Fitch? Next! I enjoyed the Sexyama fight and Jones on the prelims was good. That card was mid. 200 was better and 300 will be better than that if all goes to plan.

 

[Trabaho]

100. 200 the main card waa a bit underwhelming. Spuder DC was a sparring match, had me conspiring if it was a gentlemans agreement not to go hard, Anderson was a late replacement.
Main even nobody cared bout Nunes then.

Huh? What does "Brock was 3 fights into his career" have to do with whether or not it a stacked card? he was defending the UFC heavyweight title against frank mir and in his 5th career fight fighting a UFC champion for a 3rd time. it also had bad blood and great storyline. the fight delivered.

Hendo vs Bisping was highly anticipated and had a ton of bad blood and it fucking delivered on the fight itself.

Your GSP bullshit: okay bro, he was -275 and you don't like watching GSP win, but in his other fights
Serra -450
hardy -610
Kos -475
Shields -505
Condit -400
Diaz -430

one of his least favored fights of his career once he won the belt a second time.

you can obviously have whatever opinion you want but half your post was babbling nonsense. The card had 2 of the greatest 3-5 fighters of all time in any weight division (Jones and GSP), one of the best UFC HW's of all time in Mir, Lesnar defending his title in an unprecedented WWE wrestler to UFC champion transition, best UK fighter we ever had until maybe Leon (Bisping) facing Hendo (an all time GOAT), and THE MOST ICONIC KNOCKOUT IN UFC HISTORY, but yeah card was mid bro!
