What happened to the other 300 fight?

[blaseblase]

A few weeks ago when everyone was wondering what the main event was Dana said he had 2 more fights to announce. One of them was Pereira v Hill but we never got another one.

Maybe it's a big deal, and he doesn't want Ariel to ruin the announcement again, like at 200? Most likely just another case of him bullshitting.

Perhaps but he did say it was a "mid-level" or "mid-card" fight.

He's probably just full of shit, then

They've been booking 13-14 fights per ppv recently so I think they will. They only booked Cutelaba/Lins for 299 at 3 weeks out.

Idk, it seems like they've been flailing around, just trying to make any big fight they can think up, and they're all falling through (supposedly, probably marketing). Hard to really know what was just thrown out into the media to keep everyone guessing. It could be (hopefully, but unlikely), that he wants everyone to think it's a fight that isn't a big deal, and will announce something that actually does get some pop. May be that, bc the secret announcement was ruined by Ariel at 200, that he wants a chance to make a secret announcement again. Dana seems like that kind of guy, who wants to do big guy moves, like making super special secret announcements. His ego couldn't handle getting trampled by Helwani in 2016 or whenever it was, and he's been silently awaiting the next 00 card, so he can finally make a super secret announcement. I bet if it transpires this way, he will go home that night and ask his wife if she's proud of him, and think about his mom.

Maybe two actors from lost will get drunk and fight in the stands. Doubt it but who cares if they add another fight? It’s already stacked unless this is just more Uncle Dana Bad grrr nonsense.

 

[blaseblase]

Imagine they made Aspinall v Gane as comain. That's still on the table.

I was wondering this the other day too.

Wish the MMA media weren't a bunch of hacks and actually followed up on stuff like this...

I want to know what the "rabbit in a hat" dana had for this card was, too. And also the fight that was so big a documentary could be filmed on how they put it together.

I bet it was Fedor Brock and the Vince scandal made them can it. they could have been close to done it

 

[Fatback96]

Given the fact that they had to rob UFC 301 in Brazil of their Brazilian champ title defense tells me that they got nuttin.

 

[Local Plata]

Probably Colby vs. a .500 LW for the intercontender wwe MAGAt belt.

It's still buffering

Ariel confirmed the "rabbit in a hat" was in fact Holm/Kayla.

Damn. That's the weakest fight on the card for me.

Can't really blame the MMA media. If they stir the pot even a little, Dana blackballs them. The unfettered power that Dana wields over the media effectively makes MMA "journalism" impossible. That's why we end up with a bunch of low-rent influencers pretending to be MMA journalists.

 

[deanambrose]

The other fight is some asshole in the crowd vs some drunk guy in the crowd, duh.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Damn. That's the weakest fight on the card for me.

For me it’s Bo nickal but that’s right behind it
