Dana White did not announce the main event for the historic UFC 300 during the Super Bowl (via X)
UFC CEO, Dana White had promised fans that he would announce the main event for the UFC 300 card soon. There were rumors that this would happen during a commercial at Super Bowl LVIII this Sunday. However, the advertisement came and went without any mention of UFC 300. This has left fans frustrated and speculating whether the main event is truly booked.
White has been building up hype for UFC 300 for months. He has maintained that it would break company records and be one of the biggest events in MMA history. He even promised social media star, Nina Marie Daniele that he would let her oil him up if he didn’t reveal the headliner within a week. That was 2 weeks ago now.
This turn of events has led many to believe White overpromised and is now scrambling to put together a main event befitting the milestone show. The outspoken promoter recently indicated there are still bouts to be finalized. He said that he had 2 more fights on the card to fill. These include one mid-level and the co-main event.
Heavyweight champion, Jon Jones recently revealed he declined the UFC’s offer to compete at UFC 300 due to injury recovery. The UFC 300 main event remains a mystery. White’s refusal to announce it during the high-profile Super Bowl suggests things aren’t progressing as smoothly as he’s claimed. The coming weeks will determine whether the historic card lives up to its hype or disappoints fans banking on White’s bold promises.
Fight fans react to Dana White’s failure to announce UFC 300 main event at the Superbowl
UFC fans are voicing frustration and disappointment after CEO Dana White failed to reveal the UFC 300 main event during a Super Bowl advertisement as promised. White had been hyping the milestone pay-per-view for months, vowing it would break records.
This has sparked outrage from fans who feel duped by White’s empty promise. Many are blasting the outspoken promoter on social media for misleading UFC devotees. The finger-pointing also suggests White may have leveraged the UFC 300 hype to get media attention and is now scrambling to salvage the event with a halfway decent main event matchup. But few fans are buying any excuses after his definitive public pledge. Here are some reactions from fight fans:
In the end, many feel White errantly wrote a check his mouth couldn’t cash. Rash promises without substance risk alienating fans who don’t appreciate being misled, even if inadvertently. For the vocal UFC boss, the backlash is an important story about making bold claims that fail to materialize.
