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."
