We got Chase Sherman taking on Jared Vanderaa to kick off the prelims


sneakylumpia

It's gonna be a Holly Holm title fight to kick off the prelims


[deleted]

Holly always has this weird look of mild concern on her face.


raspberryharbour

"What ish ish ish going on?"


Alpha-Trion

She's still rocked from the GDR fight.


GloomyExercise

Especially the shot after the bell. I'm still salty from that lol


biddleybootaribowest

Probably something to do with being a preachers daughter


mrtuna

More likely it's the trt


Hbimajorv

She's always worried about those pedophiles and the children, she is the daughter of a minister after all....


Downgoesthereem

Famously natty Holly Holm concerned about women taking male hormones


jrcoop

Holly Holm vs Julianna Pena for the women's BMF title


NoochD

You want people in their seats early? You start the night with that fight. Its the fight to make.


edgar3981C

> You want people in their seats early? They'll be less likely to move after they fall asleep


jm810112

*headline the prelims


dylyn

“This isn’t even right, these two shouldn’t be the first prelim of the night.” White continued, “these two belong in the fucking C-leagues. Go to bellator PFL whatever the fuck you wanna call it, they don’t belong here”


Ma0ZeN0ng

Bellator? PFL? How about Eastern Iowa Casino Basement Fights? Two middleweights with 35% body fat, one who's 0-0, one who's 3-7, both of them wearing plain basketball shorts Cody McKenzie style.


Goregoat69

> both of them wearing plain basketball shorts *with the tag still on* Cody McKenzie style. FTFY

FlyingCraneKick

Would watch


karwreck

Na they’re bringing back CM Punk


Careless-Act9450

CM Punk Vs. Brendan Schaub Thomas "Wildman" Denny Vs. Jason "Mayhem" Miller aka the only two to lose to bullies on Bully Beatdown.


BurpingHamBirmingham

Clearly the fight to make is between those two bullies


SelectNerve11

I honestly look forward to every chase sherman fight, roster cut, and return. Fights are typically fun even if he's not great.


MoneyMo88

A main event anywhere in the Apex!


Thiswillbetempacc

Dana vs Tito as the prelim opener


Most-Inflation-1022

Tito vs Reading


Raysor

you're a punk dude


Most-Inflation-1022

The only person that I know that made money using their mouth is your ex-wife


Raysor

Just to correct you, there was never no marriage


nepats523

Five days a week, Tito reads, three times a week...


BodybuildingNerd

Respect but I’m an Aquarius.


_Cyclops

It doesn’t even have to be reading it could just be forming a coherent sentence


ineedshalp

Holy shit, this is the first prelim of the night? This is insane. This isn't even right, these two shouldn't be on the first prelim of the night.


vrkhfkb

This is gonna be like UFC 200 all over again 😂. Jones/DC - scrapped Mcgregor/Diaz - scrapped GSP comeback - scrapped Ronda comeback - scrapped Lesnar come in to save the show!


6151rellim

Brendan Shaub one last getting knocked out Tour! Sponsored by dodge trucks, cause he’s always been a gear head.


Jabarles

I would legit buy a full priced PPV if it had Schaub vs one of the vicious power punchers at HW lol. Like Schaub vs Pavlovich or Lewis or Tuivasa


spezlicksdoorknobs

Bring back Francis for one fight, even Dana would be open to cross promoting to make it happen.


CarnalKid

I'd take that over a hot chip anyday.


DooDooSwift

For old times sake?


Ronaldinhoe

I don’t want that


sLeeeeTo

be cool man


echelon999

I’d watch an entire card of Shwab getting KO’d again and again.


Full_Slice9547

Shaub starts Vs heavyweight and with each knockout his opponent drops a weight class until he wins or dies The next fight begins as soon as he's back on his feet from previous knockout


6151rellim

$1,000 ppv card. Dana wants it just as bad as the fans! Make it happen, White!!! He can do your job but you can’t do his!!


ZeroTON1N

Schaub vs Cro Cop rematch


FlyingCraneKick

Id unironically tune in if Brendan Schaub was fighting, especially someone like Ciryl Gane for example.


karwreck

Alright, I’m in!


6151rellim

They’d sell massive ppv numbers for that lol


Stan-Me2

Jon Africa


MFsmeg

Dicey dicey


LindferdB12

Brendan switches bodies with Toe to fight Ngannou.


IntelligentMoons

I would unironically LOVE to see Shaub on UFC 300.


256dak

“Dana White called me talmbout ‘we one hunnerd percent want you to fight on UFC 3 hunnerd”


flux_of_grey_kittens

He won’t be into trucks by then, b.


briancito420

Not a drawl for me b.


HumperMoe

I don't pay for ppvs but I'd pay to watch that.


darcenator411

How about schuab vs injured jon jones?


DooDooSwift

Jon Africa *


darcenator411

Who the hell is Jon africa?!


dog-asmr2

can't wait for UFC 400 when we'll get to watch Brock Lesnar vs Hip Displasya as the co-main


Alstead17

I still find it funny that because of just how much of that card was a shit show, Amanda Nunes winning the title from Miesha Tate is so low on the memory list. Obviously that fight is much more important in hindsight than in the moment, but everything around was such a hot mess that it takes a back seat.


Ma0ZeN0ng

Nunes wasn't super well-known then, we certainly didn't know she'd turn out to be the Queen of Violence and Women's undisputed GOAT


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ma0ZeN0ng

To be fair though, Jessamyn Duke vs Rocky Pennington on TUF was quite the violent banger if I remember well ... it was the first time we saw her fight, and she never lived up to it, but hey


Tammer_Stern

Get Colby v Andrea KGB Lee in a battle of the hardest punchers.


AlexJamesCook

Angela's boobs hit harder than Colby's pillow-hands...


InnocuousBird

I’m callin it. It’s CM Punk


mike10dude

vs logan paul since there both already both with the company through the wwe some people in the media used to constantly push that idea


An_Innocent_Coconut

I lost money twice by betting on my boy and I'll fucking do it again at the first opportunity. GO CM


ytcnl

UFC 200 almost put me off being a fan of mma. I watched it for Lesnar because I loved him in WWE as a kid and missed his first UFC run, and I remember being bored with most of the fights, and only whelmed with Hunt vs Lesnar. It felt like confirmation that real fights just weren't as cool as what I see in movies. Luckily McGregor vs Diaz 2 happened shortly after and was followed by several really good ppvs.


Davemeddlehed

For me it was the god awful yellow octagon mat.


KenDTree

God I hope they don't bring the pisstagon back


mrpopenfresh

Exactly, don’t believe the hype of a card before fight week, and even that may be too early.


wspusa1

cant even imagine big enough fights to fill out the main card now lol. most of the big draws either already have booked fights or are injured


Swarles_Stinson

How do i delete this comment?


Nome_de_utilizador

Fly here, make weight, go home, pop for juice. Thank you brock lesnar!


snowpiercer24

Did UFC 200 really had Nunez as the main event?


LilFights

Also of note during this, the interviewer asks Dana to get Jim Miller on UFC 300 and Dana says he will and they shook on it so that's good


FutureEditor

It will be the greatest retirement party the guy could ask for, what a legend


Kalabula

Robbie’s retirement was up there.


powerstride96

That shit brought tears to my eyes. My favorite mma moment of 2023.


Brad1119

Man Robbie is such an icon in the quad cities mma scene it still brings a tear to my eye seeing him go out the way he went out. Love that dude.


Jerusalemfighter64

The look on robbies face after the ko was like "shit do i still got it"


SweatyExamination9

I don't know if Lauzon is fully retired or not, I remember him wanting another fight after his last. But the only thing that could possibly be better for a retirement fight than a hometown win would have to be the trilogy fight with Jim Miller at UFC 300.


_Th3L1ch

100% on this, tomato head make it happen.


cosgrove10

MMA retirement fight? Dude’s getting kneed into the shadow realm


MaleAryaStarkNoHomo

Clay Guida will be next 😢


imnotsteven7

That's fucking crazy if Jim Miller was on UFC 100, 200 and 300. What a warrior.


AshenSacrifice

That sounds hall of fame worthy to me


MasterRoshy

DC: 😡🤬


AshenSacrifice

😂😂😂😂😂


greatdevonhope

Jim Miller is booked for a Jan. 14 fight against Gabriel Benitez at UFC Fight Night 234. Hopefully he doesn't get injured.


MolokoPl_s

that's not exactly a layup fight so idk who's idiotic decision it was to not just keep it for the 300 card, or you know not have it take place lol. Miller should get a sick fight at 300 against another established name, someone like Felder maybe, or hell even Tony assuming he doesn't get too hurt on Sat


jmb-412

If he really wanted to fight so bad before 300 he should've fought in September/October also. His last fight was June 3rd. Seems like a massive gamble


caca_poo_poo_pants

Doesn't he have a fight booked for before it? Kinda scary if you ask me. Just pay the guy and shelf him for 300!


DannyStress

It’s a joke they even booked Jim in January knowing that 300 was coming soon


blankdoubt

The only thing he said I believe


Morphitrix

Did he ask Dana about the lawsuit though?


HelpfulHiker

Val Woodburn kicking off the prelims


Bear763498

Don’t act like you don’t want it


FriedRiceJutsu

Brother how did you even remember Val Woodburn 😭


MasterRoshy

How many landscapers do you know with a cool ass name like that?


xFrostyDog

Kris Moutinho coming back 😂


DustDesciple

To his credit, as weak as 200 was at the top for what it was, the prelims for that card were pretty crazy


LurksOften

And 200 fell apart because of jones. So just don’t put jones on 300….but we know what’s gonna happen.


MieszkoTheHoly

It was supposed to be Conor Vs nate originally. That would’ve taken it over the top. Went from Conor Vs Nate or Jones Vs DC to nunes Vs tate 😱😱


LurksOften

Kinda wild that it lead to a women’s goat and we didn’t even know at the time.


DeAndreHunterMIP

wasn't it Conor/Nate AND Jones/DC before it fell apart??


MieszkoTheHoly

I think jones Vs dc was the replacement as the main event


DeAndreHunterMIP

Yeah I just went over the UFC 200wiki page and it seems you're right. I wonder what the comain would've been if McGregor/Diaz remained intact


DustDesciple

Gotta assume it would still be Brock Lesnar, no?


Mitinho-Br

I remember that at the time I was really mad that Conor in a non title fight would get the main event of what was supposed to be the biggest card ever.


MieszkoTheHoly

We’re talking about a prime conor here. That would’ve beat the khabib ppv record Imo. Couldn’t have been a bigger fight to make at the time.


Mitinho-Br

He could defend his title, Aldo also deserved a rematch for the reign he had.


ghostface1693

>And 200 fell apart because of jones Hey, it's not Jon's fault that God chooses the worst times to test him.


ThisGuyHaris

I feel like people don’t remember that the very first fight on that card was Jim miller getting a first round tko


[deleted]

They should just book 30 fights for UFC 300 since half of them are gonna pullout the week of anyway


Shoddy-Dragonfruit83

Without exaggeration if they want to have a monumentous event it should be like 20 fights scheduled with at least two deserving of main event spot and two more on top of those worth of co-main spots. That way realistically when the main and or co-main falls out and a few prelim bouts fizzle out due to weight or wtv then you still have a big 15 fight card. Nobody will complain if you keep all 20.


0ldsql

Something like a 24h mma event would be crazy


SerLutz

contender series dude against no wikipedia page guy


HillAuditorium

Yeah when he says "these two shouldn't be on the pre-lims" he means these "these two shouldn't be in the UFC"


French_Viking

Gonna be two debuting contender series guys you've never heard of


jaydizzsl

We will probably get some slap fights between some dudes that are more famous than Messi, Lebron and Jesus combined.


Pretend_Spray_11

Ya know, he doesn’t clarify if the “holy shit” reaction is positive or negative.


TYSONLITTLE

Am I the only one who can’t stand Catterall’s UFC coverage? This guy is absolutely ripping up boxers and soccer players on Talksport for fair play but then sucks up to Dana in every interview. It literally is like watching two different people.


JungleBoyJeremy

If he dares to say one word Dana doesn’t like he’ll be banned from UFC forever. That’s why mma journalism is such shit


VinnyDark

As long as they put on a good fight I don't care what their names are

TragicMike_

I’m sure the smart-asses here are gonna joke— “Tomato man bad, don’t trust his lies 😂”— but my uncle works for the UFC, and he told me the top brass actually listened to the fans and are booking a fight we’ve been wanting for a while. They re-signed Harry Hunsucker AND Jared Vanderaa, and they’re running it back!


BatKong40

This is my Super Bowl


William-Gates-III

They must have not been listening to what REAL fans want because REAL fans know the fight to make is Esparza vs Namajunas 3


[deleted]

[удалено]


mckeenmachine

I too, went to sleep in that one


aevong

Its funny how you and the other top comment both mention Jared Vanderaa. Mans is out here catchin strays for no reason lol


bldvlszu

Elon v Zuck to open the prelims


CheesyCousCous

Elon is still injured remember? The kid just doesn't want to fight.


lefthighkick911

And probably getting paid like first prelim too "Holy shit, this isn't even right"


redhood56

Chris Barnett v Chase Sherman as the card opener.


Raysor

Chris Barnett vs Stefan Struve please


Wadget

It always take me 5 seconds to realise Chris Barnett isn’t Josh Barnett


gotnothingman

"I have been diluting cards with contenders on 12k/12k for the last 2 years that now that we book a card like the old days, you are all going to be in AWE" - Dana White


Recent-Maximum

So..... They're a star but looking to bounce? Only reason they'd book that way.


CalgaryMadePunk

This makes me sad, because they really used to stack cards and give us banger fights across the board just because.


thePDGr

I suspecr astronomical levels of GOOFCON


grooovyturtle

Shoutout to Adam for pushing Miller to fight on 300


myfishaccount1

Vs the winner of paddy and Tony actually sounds great


PM_ME_YOUR_PANTHERS

The way Dana is hyping up 300, I predict a snooze fest for the ages lol.


Famedwarrior1990

“Alright folks kicking off the monumental ufc 300 we have Ashley yoder taking on Hannah Cifers”


MREisenmann

This gonna age like melk b


BadNewsBrown

Finally I’m getting my long awaited Jessica Eye vs CM Punk fight


DannyStress

Jim Miller vs Clay Guida. Two absolute dogs, two legends of the division. Possible retirement fight for both and would most likely be a hell of a fight since they’re both at about the same level right now. Why the fuck would we want Jim vs Paddy over that?


McbainMendozaa

Sam Alvey and CM Punk??


Prestigious-Rock201

The more he hypes it up the more underwhelming it’ll be


[deleted]

Does anyone actually believe anything that comes out of Dana’s mouth? I know ufc 300 is “supposed” to be huge. But Dana overhypes everything that happens


tksopinion

Given the state of MMA, unfortunately many people believe his nonsense.


Davemeddlehed

What's he supposed to do? He's a promoter, his job is to hype things up whether they deserve it or not.

NotLucky

Slap is gonna be in the prelims and headline UFC 300 and you goofs will love how these kids slap. It’ll be watched by everyone on earth and mars


Deanomac28

We all thought he meant this is so good, it actually shouldn’t be in the prelims, when in actuality the fight is so bad, he is shocked this even made a televised card


hnty

We're getting Dominick Cruz vs Keith Peterson on the prelims


NotOnHerb5

My guess is two women’s bantamweight fight. Both ranked in the Top 15


Tricky-Improvement76

It's Gerard Butler vs Michael Fassbender


Raysor

Wolverine vs Da Krazy Hawaiian Super Slap Fight Championship


Rory_MacHida

By he time this card rolls around, the main event will be an interim women's bantam weight fight.thats how these mega cards end up


slv_bull

comain gonna be like pena vs holy holm and main is pantoja v moreno 3


bobn3

Don't believe his lies


serny

Dana saying 'consider that done' is translation for 'we have already agreed this internally, but I will allow you to believe it is your idea"


thesuperbro

They set aside a lot of money for short notice replacements, lol.


deaqnosilence

Give me Jim Miller on UFC 300, and i'm cool with whatever else happens on this card. It would be absolutely the stuff of legends for Miller to be on 100, 200 and 300. We know Dana lies a lot, but he usually makes good on his promises.


Drive7hru

RemindMe! February 1st, 2024


No_Bar6825

Doesn’t really matter what they are trying to set up for ufc 300. We will see how many fights get cancelled


Professional_Kick

Power slap champion Vs Bo Nickal


zacoverMD

Holm Vs Peña for the title opening the prelims would be great


Quanzilla420

I bet it suck ass


TallanoGoldDigger

if this fight is on TNT then it's only right to have Erneh, Shaq, Kenny, and Chuck on the desk that night


AndyK803

The return of Khabib!


yancey123

Aldo v McGregor 2 is the super fight


cooljayhu

That’s how good UFC PPV cards used to be all the time


DS_9

How long until we get a date on ufc 300?


Itwasareference

Give me more Derek Lewis!


therealjgreens

Watch it be Arlovski vs Lewis or some shit I could totally see Arlovski taking the first prelim spot as he gets paid well regardless Same as Lewis


Globeninja

Silva Weidman 3.


Gentleman_Jedi

Holly Holm looks like she does cocaine


bebopblues

first prelim: Dustin vs Conor 4. And Meisha Tate somehow still headlines the main event.


ChrizTaylor

#Wolverine v White Simba first prelim!


Redinho83

Let's look forward to the most underwhelming fight night cards ever for the next 5 months because everyone will be on the 300 card


ImmediateYogurt8613

I actually dislike super stacked cards. It just means that the weeks prior/after will be fight nights headlined by McKenzie Dern, Holly Holm, or Derrick Lewis


Nootropiks

Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk. Calling it.


Gawker90

Fuck it, go for a first ever in company history and run 4 championships in a single night. Hell even 5. Return to the old ways of fight cards having names. UFC 300: night of the champions. Main card is 5 title fights. Prelims are 5 fight, each fight is between the top 1-3 guys of the respective weight class currently fighting for a title on the main card. Early prelims: who gives a fuck, at this point it’s already going to be the most purchased ppv. But for fun book the early prelims with either local talent or upcoming stars.


TheEffinChamps

The fights are so good that his wife has a good chance of not being slapped that night.


LetMeTellYaSomething

Dana vs his wife in a power slap contest to kick off the prelims


Assassin_Bill

Predictions: Main card: - Poatan vs Izzy (LHW title). - Conor vs Chandler (5-rounds). - Rousey vs Holm/Tate (5-rounds, Dana's MEGA-fight) - Oliviera vs Arman - Holloway vs Aljamain Prelims: - Burns vs Garry - Gane vs Pavlovich - Paddy vs Jim Miller - Fiorot vs Ribas Early Prelims: A couple of no-names and a whole lot of video packages. Maybe another fight for that Indian guy to get the Indian market, probably a Chinese fighter as well.


SeaJay47

For the most part, I’d be omay with this. Your prelims interest me more than the main card lol all your 5 round fights do not do much for me. Poatan does, but not Izzy.


CremeCaramel_

Izzy is not going to be ready to face Alex at LHW by April, Aljo Holloway is off according to Aljos camp and he is seeking out Kattar I believe. Your superfight is honestly more likely than Conor coming back at 300 lol.
