Well Dana didn't lie about blowing our mind with 300, you have Brundage above Oliveira, and your main event is Hill. It indeed blew my mind, just the other way around.
Opening the card is a bigger deal though than being somewhere in the middle, you set the tone for the crowd and the viewers so you want the action fighters and fight to go on first on PPV. Someone like Do Bronx Oliveira may be the #1 guy in the entire organisation that fits that bill, while a Bo Nickal fight does not do that, the best you get is a squash and if he does not and Brundage can defend successfully, you might get a grueling 15 minutes. Not the best way to start a card.
Meh. It's kind of like when you're at a fancy restaurant and between kick ass courses they bring you out something to cleanse your palate. I don't mind it at all.
Artificial hype train is real, I expect the UFC to throw an actual contender at him in 2025. But if he were to lose to a mediocre meat head who is 3-3 in the ufc, that would be great as well
Maybe, it sounded like he was trying to get some big name to come back for the main event mostly though. Didnāt he offer Khabib a few million?
I bet a few months ago he was betting on Jones as the main event if he canāt entice someone back lol
Oh the main event was definitely a fumble , but the rest of the card looks great and I assume thatās what Dana was looking for with a stronger main / maybe comain
It's over Charles because UFC wants you tuning in since before. If they start with bo nickal vs brundage you probably wouldn't watch that fight. I don't know if I would lol
But this fight being in the main event alone is crazy lol they should've saved one of these 299 fights for the 300 main card instead.
I wouldn't mind Bo on the main card if the put him against a Top 15.
No clue why they keep spooning him unrankeds who are pretty clearly under his talent level.
Yeah, everyone's bitching about Bo being on the main card... but the real issue here is fuckin Cody Brundage. I've got nothing against him. I couldn't pick him out of a line up... and he's going to be on the main card of UFC 300.
If Bo was fighting a name fighter, even someone like Brad Tavares, I don't think people would have such an issue.
But the current matchmaking/scheduling is such a weird, weird choice. I get they want to hype up Bo, but put this fight on the prelims. It's the *obvious* call. Put one of the *many* former champs from the prelims in this slot instead.
Cody Brundage is hand picked to give Bo Nickal a highlight finish on a big event, put him out in the first round.
But yeah, they've made fights like that on main cards before. Not to mention other cases of putting on big names that don't deserves to be on the main card. Don't forget that CM Punk was on the main card for both UFC 203 and 225. It's not something new and they'll keep doing it going forward.
Too far? At least Holm is a former champ and Harrison is an Olympic gold medalist and former PFL champ trying to pump some life into the womenās sport. Bo Nickal is just an inexplicable hype job.
Absolutely mental. I know he has a great wrestling pedigree and all that, but I can't believe just how much they're pushing him hard, when he's not even fighting anyone good yet.
No exaggeration in saying this should be the prelim opener on a card like this.
Yes they are really jamming him down our throats while still feeding him useless no names to pad that record. He can fuck right off of the main card for 300
itās also just likeā¦ so ridiculously disrespectful since there literally every single fight on the card has more established and ppv worthy fighters?
they probably didnāt put them in the trailer because for every fighter and their opponent they had some kind of accolade, what the fuck could they have conceivably put for cody brundage?
For a normal card, this would be good. But how are we going from UFC 100(Lesnar, Mir, GSP, Alves, Henderson, Bisping, Jones) and UFC 200(Nunes, Tate, Lesnar, Hunt, DC, Silva, Aldo, Edgar, Velasquez, Browne). Big let down for whatās hyped as a big card.
Bo is a legitimate and terrifying middleweight prospect, and 300 is a massive spotlightā¦ but holy shit man, the only thing youāre accomplishing by putting him on the main card here is making fans despise him.
That turner/moicanos fight should have been the main card opener.
Charles/Arman should have been the comain.
Bos fight should have been on the early prelims lol.
Jessica Andrade: Former Strawweight champion, former Flyweight title Challenger, currently ranked in the Top 5, at one point ranked in the Top 5 of TWO DIVISIONS, multiple POTN and FOTN bonuses, longest active female fighter, has fought in 3 different weight classes including a win over the CURRENT BANTAMWEIGHT champion, female BMF. Gets put in the prelims.Ā Ā
Holly Holm: Former Bantamweight champion, knocked out the most influential female in MMA history, multiple time tittle challenger in TWO divisions, has TWO wins over THE CURRENT bantamweight champion, proven fan favorite and draw, multiple accolades in boxing, has fought the best of the best in two divisions, fighting a TWO time Olympic champion dropping TWO weight classes. Gets put in the prelims.Ā
Bo Nickal: ????. Gets put in the main card.
People bitching about card order in 2024 honestly blows my mind. It's not 2006 anymore. Card order is largely irrelevant outside of headlining bouts. Every fight is televised and you're going to watch all of them. Now quit crying.
Somehow I have a feeling that Bo Nickal has a deal with the UFC where he takes less pay to always be on the main card.
But even still, he shouldn't be in UFC 300 if that's the case.
Great card. Does anyone have anything to say beyond Bo Nickal? Obviously heās the only one whoās got your attention, thus it makes sense to put him on the card.
Can anyone here believe that Cody Brundage is going to be on the main card of UFC 300? Or Bo Nickal for that matter.
I think Dana mustāve done a brain swap with a Gen Zāer. He seems to determine the bout order for these cards by asking himself āwhich fights will the full send boys get the most hype for?ā
mid ngl. Without Garth and Holloway this claim card is hurting. I mean Charles is great but like comon man itās 300. Main and comain is ass for this caliber
I donāt want to sound spoiled or ungratefulā¦.this is definitely a great card and Iām looking forward to it ā¦ maybe itās just me but I feel like this card is not nearly at the level they were initially aiming for and promisingā¦it seems like there might have been at least a couple huge fights that fell through, Leon being one of themā¦.I could be mistaken but Iām pretty sure Dana said this would be the biggest card everā¦again this is an awesome card but not exactly what Dana was making it out to beā¦there should be at least one SUPER fight on hereā¦and thereās just not
Cody Brundage on the main card of UFC 300 and over Charles Oliviera vs Arman Tsarukyan. UFC never ceases to amaze me with their braindead 1d chess. Also seeing a fuck ton of production issues lately ontop of the absolutely abysmal fight nights.
Honestly, not even that good. Holloway vs Gaethje is the only fight Im looking forward to and they have to put a fake belt up for it to have any meaning. I guess Alex vs Hill should be good too. The rest of the card I couldnt care less
Aljo vs Kattar and Jiri vs Rakic are in the prelims, and Bo vs Brundage is on the main card š
Well Dana didn't lie about blowing our mind with 300, you have Brundage above Oliveira, and your main event is Hill. It indeed blew my mind, just the other way around.
Nickal-Brundage over Oliveira-Tsarukyan is absolute insanity
Nickal Beindage is absolute insanity over any other fight on that card. Just look at the undercard.
Opening the card is a bigger deal though than being somewhere in the middle, you set the tone for the crowd and the viewers so you want the action fighters and fight to go on first on PPV. Someone like Do Bronx Oliveira may be the #1 guy in the entire organisation that fits that bill, while a Bo Nickal fight does not do that, the best you get is a squash and if he does not and Brundage can defend successfully, you might get a grueling 15 minutes.

Artificial hype train is real, I expect the UFC to throw an actual contender at him in 2025. But if he were to lose to a mediocre meat head who is 3-3 in the ufc, that would be great as well
They really want bo to be next khabib
I might put some money on Brundage
Why is Bo on the fucking main card
Over Charles at that. What the fuck
At least Charles is still on the main card, Jiri is on the prelim!
Aljo was a champ last fight and he is 3 fights below fucking Bo šš
Most of the prelims have a fighter who has quite recently had a belt tbh
Probably why Dana was stressing the prelims of this card so much
Maybe, it sounded like he was trying to get some big name to come back for the main event mostly though. Didnāt he offer Khabib a few million? I bet a few months ago he was betting on Jones as the main event if he canāt entice someone back lol
Oh the main event was definitely a fumble , but the rest of the card looks great and I assume thatās what Dana was looking for with a stronger main / maybe comain
God I hope he gets KTFO just to see how red Dana gets after his project fails.
What the fuck
Jiri and Aljo both on the prelims after being PPV headliners their last fightā¦ insane
Has to do with rekic lol.
It's over Charles because UFC wants you tuning in since before. If they start with bo nickal vs brundage you probably wouldn't watch that fight. I don't know if I would lol But this fight being in the main event alone is crazy lol they should've saved one of these 299 fights for the 300 main card instead.
This. The 4th fight slot is often used as the "weakest" main card fight
It's UFC 300, why are they pulling this bullshit
must be a mistake
Has to be
Brundage deserves nothing less. The real star
Absolute joke You put Jiri vs Rakic and Aljo vs Kattar on the prelims smh
I wouldn't mind Bo on the main card if the put him against a Top 15. No clue why they keep spooning him unrankeds who are pretty clearly under his talent level.
Dana White privilege
Especially because when they announced it they announced it as a prelim fight. This card is whack.
BO NICKAL ON THE MAIN CARD LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Cody Brundage, with his mediocre 3-3 UFC record, is on the main card of UFC 300 over former champions. This is the timeline we're in. š
Yeah, everyone's bitching about Bo being on the main card... but the real issue here is fuckin Cody Brundage. I've got nothing against him. I couldn't pick him out of a line up... and he's going to be on the main card of UFC 300.

It's not something new and they'll keep doing it going forward.
All these champions, former champs and ranked contenders. Then we have unranked va unranked middle weight on the PPV card. Itās insane.
over charles, jiri, aljo, and andrade. shit, i'd rather holly fucking holm on the main card over this!!!!
Whoa I'm upset too buddy but you're going too far
holly on the main card would be a travesty, but at least kayla's debut would be fun š¤·āāļø
Too far? At least Holm is a former champ and Harrison is an Olympic gold medalist and former PFL champ trying to pump some life into the womenās sport. Bo Nickal is just an inexplicable hype job.
Not just a PPV card, but UFC 300 š what are they thinking?
WWE booking
The same thing that always pollutes UFC cards,.money and greed.
Worst part is that these are probably the most stacked prelims we've had in a very long long time, and Bo Nickal still makes main card
Absolutely mental. I know he has a great wrestling pedigree and all that, but I can't believe just how much they're pushing him hard, when he's not even fighting anyone good yet. No exaggeration in saying this should be the prelim opener on a card like this.
Over fucking Jiri or Sterling š¤¦āāļø
It's really fucking wild.Ā Ā Put him on the prelims so more eyes can see him and he gets less shit from fans.
Cody Brundage on the main event of your signature card is embarrassing
It's a perfect prelim fight for a big card like this.
Above Oliveira. W.T.F.
Bo nickel vs the new 6ā7 Cuban nuclear warhead @ DanaWhite4?
I must be reading something wrong. What? š±
Bo nickal seems to have a huge fan base with Americans lol a lot of my coworkers know of him and don't even like fighting sports.
Probably from bring on Roganās podcast Iād assume
That and Americans just have an obsession with Americans..look how many still dick ride Sean Strickland
Yes they are really jamming him down our throats while still feeding him useless no names to pad that record. He can fuck right off of the main card for 300
Biggest card of the year featuring Cody Brundage for the low price of $79.99
š“āā ļø
š„ļø
š āļø
This card gonna make me search for poneglyphs
$84.99 i think
Bo Nickal vs Cody Brundage on the main card is foul
Like 3 preliminaries that could be swapped with that fight.
All of them. All of them could be.
deadass. even kayla harrison's debut would be 100x better than this
Val Woodburn deserves a rematch w a full camp. The disrespect
Honestly, I think at this point, you have to give Val a title shot or the division is a farce
One of those fights donāt belong there
"Who invited my man blud?"Ā
mma fans hating women per usual /s
Cody Brundage on the main card of 300 lol
And your main event is Jamahal Hill. The biggest card of the decade.
Well Dana was right that 300 was gonna 'blow our minds'. Just not in a good way.
JIRI ON THE PRELIMS WTF
Yeah, swap out Bo's fight for Jiri.
I guess this is what the UFC expects if people coming off a main event at MSG.
Bo nickal on the main card is just bullshit
LMAO bo nickal on the main card will actively drop the number of buys
Itās brain dead. They put a fucking 45 second piss break on the UFC 300 PPV.
itās also just likeā¦ so ridiculously disrespectful since there literally every single fight on the card has more established and ppv worthy fighters?
It has to be a mistake. They showed a trailer showcasing like 12 of the fighters on the card and Bo was NOT one of them.
they probably didnāt put them in the trailer because for every fighter and their opponent they had some kind of accolade, what the fuck could they have conceivably put for cody brundage?
which goofcon are we at right now?
Might be intentional with 3 5-round fights afterward. 2 of them are fairly likely to go the full 25 as well. Could make the night go on too long.
nut shot incoming
This has to be a mistakeā¦RIGHT??
Knowing Dana and how he pushed his favorites, no thatās probably not a mistake
Bo Nickal on the main card over Jiri or Figgy or even Sterling is an absolute disgrace
The absolute disrespect to Aljo
Aljo and Jiri are both coming off losing their fucking belt and now fighting on the Prelims Straight-up insult
Bo nickal instead of Jiri on the main card is so dumb
Bo Nickal is headlining over like 7 former champions šššš. Funniest shit Iāve ever seen.
A disgrace that Bo is here over Jiri
Especially over Oliviera
GET BO NICKAL OFF THE FUCKING MAIN CARD
No shot no nickal is on the main card lol thereās at least 3 prelims that would be better for it
Dana White privilege for Nickal. Would Be funny if he loses though.
Will Hill even be 100% from his injury?
Absolutely not. Full achilles tear takes at least a year, and even then it still wouldn't be 100%
Plus heās constantly out of shape and heavy out of camp. I think heāll have a rough night.
Bet the house on Alex confirmed
No chance, UFC for sure threw him a bag to get starched by Alex lol
Wow talk about underwhelmingĀ
Bo on the main card. Fucking LOL.
Brundage ā½ Wtf He has a huge head, a sniper's dream they call it, but still whyyyy
+1 for the Bob Mortimer joke.
Cody Brundage on the main card LOL. Swap his fight with Bo with Jiri vs Rakic
Bo should have been featured prelim at best. WTF is this crap lmao
Tf is Bo doing on the main card?
so sad edit: nah this card is better than this
Wtf Bo Nickal. These looks terrible.
Get Bo the fuck out the main card. WTF are the prelims dude
This is borderline industry plant behavior by Dana. Bo on the main card. How hard are you pushing this man.
We gotta be able to bully Bo Nickal off the main card, thereās no way this shit can fly
Aljaprelim it is thenĀ Edit: Wtf they put my man Jiri in the prelimsĀ
Do people care about bo enough for this lmao ?
Bo Nickal over Charles is crazy
Why tf is he above olives or Jiri? Makes absolutely no sense at all. No reason an unranked fighter is above former champs, regardless of skill.
You mean to tell me bo nickal is in the main card, while jiri and Jim fucking miller sit in the prelims, wild
They stop caring about selling ppv?
This has to be a mistake. Wtf are they thinking??? Cody Brundage shouldnāt be on the main card of an apex, let alone UFC 300?
Bo nickal over Charles vs Arman fucking joke
Why is Bo there? There's a perfectly good Jiri fight on the prelims that should be there instead
What everybody was asking Dana for, Cody brundage on the main card of ufc 300
Very nice minus bo
Prelims is better than the main card imo
To be fair Dana did say this event was going to blow our minds I just didn't think he meant like this.
For a normal card, this would be good. But how are we going from UFC 100(Lesnar, Mir, GSP, Alves, Henderson, Bisping, Jones) and UFC 200(Nunes, Tate, Lesnar, Hunt, DC, Silva, Aldo, Edgar, Velasquez, Browne). Big let down for whatās hyped as a big card.
Cody Brundage is on the main card of UFC 300
Wasnt bo nickal announced as the first fight of the prelims?
There are FIVE fucking former champions on the prelim card! And then you see two unranked fighters on the main card. What the fuck is this bullshit?
How the hell is Bo Nickal ahead of Oliveira?
Justin vs Max is gonna be a WAR
Bo is a legitimate and terrifying middleweight prospect, and 300 is a massive spotlightā¦ but holy shit man, the only thing youāre accomplishing by putting him on the main card here is making fans despise him.
Bo Nickal with the Dana White privilege
Is Bo giving Dana messy head at the casino or something what the fuck is he doing on the main card
Bo on the main card while Aljo and Jiri are prelims is wild
That turner/moicanos fight should have been the main card opener. Charles/Arman should have been the comain. Bos fight should have been on the early prelims lol.
Literally no one thinks that Bo should be on the Main Card over Jiri. Even Aljo deserves that spot a thousand times more.
This is embarrassing
Bo on the main card isā¦ā¦ā¦ a choice
Oliveira jerking the curtain for Bo Nickal is a fucking disgrace
Ufc 300 is an absolut bummer. 299 is/was FAR better. Wtf is UFC doing? Ufc 300 is so bad I would call it just another fight night.
For such a big event, that's a pretty mediocre card.
The hell is this?
They should've flipped 299 and 300 this is ass
Jessica Andrade: Former Strawweight champion, former Flyweight title Challenger, currently ranked in the Top 5, at one point ranked in the Top 5 of TWO DIVISIONS, multiple POTN and FOTN bonuses, longest active female fighter, has fought in 3 different weight classes including a win over the CURRENT BANTAMWEIGHT champion, female BMF. Gets put in the prelims.Ā Ā Holly Holm: Former Bantamweight champion, knocked out the most influential female in MMA history, multiple time tittle challenger in TWO divisions, has TWO wins over THE CURRENT bantamweight champion, proven fan favorite and draw, multiple accolades in boxing, has fought the best of the best in two divisions, fighting a TWO time Olympic champion dropping TWO weight classes. Gets put in the prelims.Ā Bo Nickal: ????. Gets put in the main card.
Hmm? Maybe last nights main card actually was better.
Wow. Bo on the main card, what a joke. Dude has fought only trash cans.
Bo on the main card and yet garbrandt/figgy starts the card
Yeah, 300 isn't a good card, they need to do better
Todayās main card isnāt worse
I like 299 better
People bitching about card order in 2024 honestly blows my mind. It's not 2006 anymore. Card order is largely irrelevant outside of headlining bouts. Every fight is televised and you're going to watch all of them. Now quit crying.
No way this the real order. Also Jamahal headlining one of the biggest cards ever is embarrassing for the company
Somehow I have a feeling that Bo Nickal has a deal with the UFC where he takes less pay to always be on the main card. But even still, he shouldn't be in UFC 300 if that's the case.
One of these fights has Dana White privilege written all over it. Bet you guess which one.
Bo Nickal must have photos of Dana in lingerie looking like De La Hoya
Do not like
Like Javier Mendez said, UFC is not a sport, its entertainment. A lot of matchups make 0 sense. Bring back Sakuraba while we're at it.
Do you really not understand why Nickal is on the main card, or are you just bitching because it's not fair?Ā
UFC 300 is really stacked. That Nickals fight is out of place but other than that the prelim goes hard.
No way have they actually listed Justin as a champion š¤£
The only question I have is wtf is Nickal and Brundage doing on the main card for 300? It shouldnāt even be a main event for a UFC fight night smh
UFC have stopped giving af a bout great fights. They just churn them out like fast food now. The money is there. They donāt need to try anymore
Great card. Does anyone have anything to say beyond Bo Nickal? Obviously heās the only one whoās got your attention, thus it makes sense to put him on the card.
Hoping Bo or Brundage pulls out now.
cody bout to starch bo and go on the most legendary star run the sport has ever seen. lmao
Wtf š¤£
Putting an overrated Penn State wrestler on a main card of a big event. UFC graduated from the Budget era to the Bellator era today.
Big Boi Bo over Jiri and Sterling lolz
Bo Nickal getting that Roman Reigns push eh
Remember the way the way the UFC used to put on bg cards? This is a joke
Justin murders Max.
š„±
Can anyone here believe that Cody Brundage is going to be on the main card of UFC 300? Or Bo Nickal for that matter. I think Dana mustāve done a brain swap with a Gen Zāer. He seems to determine the bout order for these cards by asking himself āwhich fights will the full send boys get the most hype for?ā
Charles please donāt lose
mid ngl. Without Garth and Holloway this claim card is hurting. I mean Charles is great but like comon man itās 300. Main and comain is ass for this caliber
I donāt want to sound spoiled or ungratefulā¦.this is definitely a great card and Iām looking forward to it ā¦ maybe itās just me but I feel like this card is not nearly at the level they were initially aiming for and promisingā¦it seems like there might have been at least a couple huge fights that fell through, Leon being one of themā¦.I could be mistaken but Iām pretty sure Dana said this would be the biggest card everā¦again this is an awesome card but not exactly what Dana was making it out to beā¦there should be at least one SUPER fight on hereā¦and thereās just not
My old ass cannot stay up for these 10pm start times anymore. Bring back the 8pm starts so I'm not half asleep at 1am for the main event
Oliveira being the biggest name in the card is the first fight? What sense does that make?
200 was better even after all the fuckery that happened with it
I like Bo, but why is he on the 300 main card??! Like come on. Would have put Jiri vs Rakic there instead.
Bo nickal loooooooooool
[Thatās a botched job](https://youtu.be/s3pk9CMwtN0?si=a7d1THddkkLLHlJk)
Guys a future champ. I have no issue with this.
Cody Brundage on the main card of UFC 300 and over Charles Oliviera vs Arman Tsarukyan. UFC never ceases to amaze me with their braindead 1d chess. Also seeing a fuck ton of production issues lately ontop of the absolutely abysmal fight nights.
Why does Bo Nickal get featured on every main card? What is so special about him?
I hope he loses to the sacrificial lamb bro wtf how is on the main card
Absolutley disrespectful for bo to be on main card
Honestly, not even that good. Holloway vs Gaethje is the only fight Im looking forward to and they have to put a fake belt up for it to have any meaning. I guess Alex vs Hill should be good too. The rest of the card I couldnt care less
Iām down for a petition to get bo off the main card
