A UFC 300 fight is reportedly in jeopardy due to a premature announcement made by UFC CEO Dana White.
The historic UFC 300 will take place on Saturday, April 13th at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.
It was on ‘The MMA Hour‘ that Ariel Helwani spoke about another fight being in jeopardy at UFC 300:
“I can tell you there’s another fight on (UFC) 300, one of the particulars has not agreed to yet. I’m not gonna say which fight it is, and I’ll tell you it’s probably not a main card fight, but there’s another fight on that card that was put out before one of the fighters agreed to it — and as of this second, they have not agreed to it yet.”
That’s quite the teaser from the MMA journalist.
News came out just last week that the Dustin Poirier (29-8 MMA) vs. Benoit Saint-Denis (13-1 MMA) co-main event bout scheduled for UFC 299 was in jeopardy. Poirier made claims that it was announced prior to him signing the contract, then he took it back claiming it was all a misunderstanding and the fight in fact was back on.
The current UFC 300 lineup looks like this:
Weili Zhang (24-3 MMA) vs. Xiaonan Yan (18-3 MMA) – Strawweight Title Fight
Justin Gaethje (25-4 MMA) vs. Max Holloway (25-7 MMA) – BMF Title Fight
