What has been said?

Dana White has acknowledged that fans are eagerly anticipating the UFC 300 fight card.

But the UFC President highlighted that there is so much more to it than just the bill.

Speaking on TNT Sports, White said: “You want to build these amazing cards that make people lose their minds, but there’s also so much more to it with a 300.

“There’s this whole what is the feel of the show going to be. We put on a live event and a television show, too, and what are we going to build around the event?

“So there’s a lot more that goes into it than just the card, but what you can expect is the first prelim of the night for you to be going like, ‘Holy sh*t, 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.’

“That’s how good 300 is going to be.”
