Five days before Christmas, UFC CEO Dana White is closer to making dreams come true for fight fans everywhere.

UFC 300, slated for April 13, 2024, in Las Vegas, Nev., is the promotion's blockbuster event that ushers in a new era of the brand. As such, UFC 200 and UFC 100 took place seven years apart and included former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar on both cards. As such, both were also held in Las Vegas.

While White didn't hint at who will be on the card, he said its reveal is forthcoming.

"We'll be announcing the 300 card soon," White said with a smile during an Instagram Live session Wednesday night. "Very soon. Not the whole card. Some of it. But, yeah, so get ready for that too."

With most of the division's title fights booked throughout the first quarter of 2024, it leaves few options for the UFC to make the best main event possible realistically.

Conor McGregor Gives Massive Update On UFC Return

According to Chandler, despite a lengthy delay, the rumblings of him vs. Conor McGregor are beginning to heat up again as a potential main event.

The pair were acquainted as coaches on TUF 31 in the spring, with Chandler's team winning all but one fight during the season. Due to McGregor's near three-year layoff, complications with USADA, and the six months needed to enter the pool, the fight was delayed even further.

Nonetheless, UFC 300 will be a capstone to Q1 in 2024 that includes trips to Canada, California, Miami, and Saudi Arabia, to name a few.
