DANA WHITE could announce UFC 300’s main event before the end of the week after losing a bet to an influencer.
The promotion’s eagerly-anticipated 300th pay-per-view card is on the brink of being finalised following a spate of fight announcements over the last two weeks.

But the main and co-main events for the historic Las Vegas card are currently still a mystery, much to the frustration of MMA fans around the world.
White, however, could soon drop the big news after telling MMA personality Nina Drama he’d reveal the fight if their latest video together got over 10,000 likes.
Nina dropped the bombshell as she posted a picture of herself handing White a bottle of Crisco oil in the War Room at UFC headquarters.
The accompanying caption read: “Dana White said if this video gets 10,000 comments he will announce UFC 300 main event this week or we get to oil him up.”
The video spread like wildfire and promoted scores of fans and fighters alike to comment on the post, which has NOW received over 36,000 comments.
Whether or not UFC president and newly-appointed CEO White stays true to his word remains a mystery.
But MMA fans around the world are well and truly waiting with bated breath for the veteran promoter’s next fight announcement video.
When recently asked about the main event during an Instagram Live, White said: “I just gave you guys a 300 fight.

“When will you get the main event? You guys can’t even handle the main event.
“We’re working on a couple of different options. Trust me, the UFC 300 main event is going to be crazy.
“We have a couple of options for the main event.
“I’m still playing with it, I’m still playing with it. When it’s time, I will give it to you.”
White’s teasing of a huge announcement for the historic card came just days before MMA superstar Conor McGregor teased topping the bill of the Sin City extravaganza.
After sharing a video of himself sparring on Instagram and X, the 35-year-old wrote: “McGregor on 300 seals the deal.”
McGregor, who hasn’t fought since breaking his leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier, is set to be welcomed back to the cage by Michael Chandler.
