^ It is a bit concerning that Dana White seemingly has no idea what UFC 300 is going to do for a main event and everyone keeps asking him about it. His behavior leaving a podcast yesterday after his intro sort of displayed his frustration. Everyone wants the biggest UFC event of all time and Dana doesn’t even know if Conor will be able to fight by then or not.
Even if McGregor is able to fight, he's not really a draw of high magnitude anymore. The guy is washed as seen twice vs Poirier. There's just nothing he can do... He is past his prime. :/
What the UFC could do is pay Jon Jones a bunch of money to return earlier than intended to fight Tom Aspinall. That would be a good match up. They should just forget Miocic and pay him a bunch of money too, to stfu. Lol. No one really wants to watch him anyway.
Live in 12 hours... Should be good.

I disagree. I believe that Conor McGregor is the biggest draw in MMA still to this day and I don't think that second place is even close. Sure, he may be washed, but he's still the best entertainment in the sport along with being the most widely known.
Dana saying that UFC 298/299/300 are going to be the best trilogy in UFC history is seemingly laughable at this point. It's possible he's just keeping his cards close to his vest, but from what I've seen from Dana over the last couple weeks, it seems like he has no idea who is going to headline UFC 300 or even what good fights will be happening. He's supposed to make an announcement today. We'll see...
