And yet to officially announce a main event bout for the card in three months time, UFC leader, White claimed the promotion had a slew of fights in mind to take headlining honors for the event, including a bout which fans would struggle to “handle” nor wrap their heads around.
“When will you get the main event?” Dana White said during an Instagram Live session. “You guys can’t handle the main event. We’re working on a couple of different options. Trust me, the UFC 300 main event is going to be crazy.”
“We have a couple of options for the main event,” White explained. “I’m still playing with it. When it’s time, I will give it to you.”
Currently slated for UFC 300: a massive BMF title fight between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway is on deck, while Hebei fan-favorite, Zhang Weili looks to land a successful strawweight title defense against compatriot, Yan Xiaonan.
Linked with a potential headlining bracket at UFC 300, undisputed light heavyweight kingpin, Alex Pereira has been tied to a potential defense against the likes of Jamahal Hill, and Magomed Ankalaev.
Former two-time middleweight kingpin, Israel Adesanya has also been linked with a UFC 300 headliner against newly-crowned divisional best, Dricus du Plessis in a heated grudge fight between the duo.
Furthermore, fans have also speculated that the return of former two-division champion, Conor McGregor will occur atop UFC 300 in April against Michael Chandler – with the aforenoted, White revealing the Dubliner will not make his fighting return in June, despite his recent announcement.
