True, the organizers have yet to reach an agreement with all participants.
In the spring of 2024, the best promotion on the planet is preparing a great event. An anniversary tournament will be held: UFC 300. The league bosses want to make it something historic and incredible. Little by little, rumors are beginning to emerge about possible fights. And frankly, the signs are really impressive. If Dana White and his matchmakers bring it all to life, the event promises to be truly fantastic.
There is growing talk that the night’s main event will feature the long-awaited return of Conor McGregor. Some fans even speculate that Notorious will not specifically fight Michael Chandler to compete at UFC 300. If the Irishman passes all the necessary USADA tests in the near future, he will be able to appear in the octagon. The opportunity to take part in a historic show may well get Conor hooked.
Not everyone is happy with McGregor’s possible return:
Conor no longer belongs to the UFC. It’s time to move to WWE: the Irishman is made for wrestling
Another important event promises to be the confrontation between the Russian Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski. It was clear that revenge was only a matter of time. And the best option is a numbered anniversary tournament, which will attract incredible attention.
Volkanovski himself has already expressed his desire to compete at UFC 300: “Would I like to have a rematch with Islam at UFC 300? Certainly. This would be great, considering my hand can be raised in such an important tournament. That would be ideal. Let’s see how it all turns out. I believe that our fight is one of the loudest that can be organized today. I have no doubt that people will be waiting for our revenge. It will be a competitive battle and I guarantee I will win this time.”
Volkanovski’s compatriot, Israel Adesanya, also wants to compete at UFC 300. In addition, he is even prepared to lead the tournament. But only if Alex can’t perform.

“I would like to lead the tournament. Let’s see… I saw UFC 100, it was the fight between Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir, I saw UFC 200, Miesha Tate performed there, a great fight. I have been a fan of this sport for a long time. And I would like to be part of UFC 300, because I won’t be able to fight at UFC 400. I will definitely fight at UFC 300. Alex Volkanovski should be there too. And I’ll be in the co-main event. He is my friend. If he doesn’t fight, then I’ll be the headliner. “I’m sure other people will want it too and Conor will want to get involved too.”
And mixed martial arts fans are waiting for the fight, which so far seems like a fantastic option, but may well become a reality. Jon Jones missed the UFC 200 anniversary due to a doping scandal. But he is obliged to perform at the next such event. But it is not Sergei Pavlovich who is expected to be his opponent. There is a possibility that the American will retire after the fight with Stipe Miocic. And at UFC 300 he will fight Tyson Fury. The Gypsy King has already announced that he has received a contract from the league for this event. But the fighters have not yet made a final decision.

From these anticipated fights alone, it’s clear that UFC 300 truly has the potential to become a historic event. The main thing is that the organization can put all these plans into practice. A fantastic card was also announced before UFC 200. But it eventually fell apart and the event literally had to be saved. There is confidence that Dana White will work on his mistakes, allowing him to host the tournament of his dreams.
