With UFC 300 around the corner, fans are getting eager to know who will be featured on the card. Recently, social media influencer Nina Marie-Daniele reported that Dana White was going to let people know about a huge fight. However, when the announcement was made, fans did not seem too happy about it and claimed that the UFC head honcho misled them.
Dana White announced three fights so far for UFC 300, featuring Aljamain Sterling, Jiri Prochazka, and Bo Nickal. He later assured the fans that there are more blockbuster matches in store for the PPV. However, when Nina Marie-Daniele announced the big fight, it was not what most people expected it to be.

What was the big announcement from Dana White all about?
Nina Marie Daniele shared a story on Instagram in which she reported that the UFC CEO was going to make an official announcement about a big fight. She was also there at the UFC headquarters and was waiting right outside Dana White’s office as she rushed to enter the room. However, as soon as Marie-Daniele entered the room, it was pretty clear that the announcement was not about the UFC. Rather, it was about Power Slap.

“Okay, today is the day. I know you’ve all been waiting for Dana to break the big fight news. We’re here at his office at the UFC headquarters… It’s season 2, ‘Road to the Title’… episode 7,” said Nina Marie-Daniele. With such a monumental PPV on the horizon, it certainly wasn’t the announcement fans were waiting for. They took to Instagram and sounded off on the 54-year-old promoter. Let’s see what they had to say.
Fans sounded off on the UFC CEO and Nina for misleading them
The fans were clearly enraged by the misleading “big fight” announcement, which was apparent from their reactions on social media. One fan wondered how much Nina Marie-Daniele got paid to hype up Power Slap.
How much do you think Dana is paying her to pretend to be hyped about powerslap?

Some fans claimed that Power Slap bouts are not actually fights.
Kinda misleading calling it “fight” news.

Moreover, some users on Twitter (X) were not happy with the UFC attempting such stunts constantly.
They can’t keep getting away with this

Another fan claimed that the Power Slap announcement ruined his birthday.

They believe that Dana White may not be too keen on announcing Power Slap fights himself.
Even Dana was too embarrassed to pop up for that announcement! 💀

It’s safe to assume that the fans were let down by the UFC CEO.
