UFC CEO Dana White Provides Intriguing Update on UFC 300 Fight Card
Fans won't have to wait much longer for Dana White to reveal more fights for the highly-anticipated UFC 300.
The UFC has yet to hold its first event of 2024, but even in the latter half of last year fight fans began speculating on what the world’s leading MMA promotion might be planning to celebrate a significant milestone.
UFC 300 is set to take place on April 13 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and so far the three confirmed fights for the event include former UFC champions Jiří Procházka and Aljamain Sterling taking on Aleksandar Rakić and Calvin Kattar, as well as the return of unbeaten phenom Bo Nickal for a matchup with Cody Brundage.

The announcement of those three bouts did little to quell demand for the rest of the card, and when a fan recently asked White for an update during his vacation in Bali the UFC CEO provided some exciting news about the event.
“I’ll have more fights for you on Tuesday. I get home Sunday, and I’ll have more fights for 300 on Tuesday,” – White said on Instagram Live.
White has already promised that UFC 300 will be among the most stacked events the promotion has ever put together, and the expectation from fans is that the card will include as many big-name fighters as possible as well as multiple title fights.
The news that Conor McGregor would be returning in 2024 sparked immediate speculation that he could headline UFC 300, but now that “The Notorious” is set to return against Michael Chandler in June many fans will be hoping that White sheds some light on the planned main event with his announcement next week.
