What has been said?
Dana White has acknowledged that fans are eagerly awaiting the UFC 300 fight card.
But the UFC president emphasized that there is so much more to the story than just the bill.
White told TNT Sports: “You want to build these great cards that people will go crazy about, but there's so much more to it than that with a 300.
“There's a whole of what the show will feel like. We've also done a live event and a television show, and what are we going to build around the event?
“So there is a lot more to it than just the card, but what you can expect is that during the first heat of the evening you say: 'Holy sh*t, this is the first heat of the evening?' “It's insane. This isn't even right. These two should not be on the first heat of the evening.”
“300 will be that good.”
