“Jon Jones is not involved. We have one more slot to fill mid-level, and then we have the main event. Main event is not known right now.

Unless I completely f***ing change everything,” Dana White added. It remains to be seen how the final card for UFC 300 shapes up to be in the days to come.

Joe Pyfer opens up after loss to Jack Hermansson

Highly rated middleweight prospect Joe Pyfer suffered his first loss at UFC Vegas 86 after joining the roster. Jack Hermansson edged past the 27-year-old with a unanimous decision win. Meanwhile, Pyfer opened up about his loss on social media and mentioned that a strike to the eyeball left him unable to see his opponent during the fight. He said, “I just wanna say, I’m ok. Despite how my face looks, I wasn’t rocked, I got punched in the eyeball, couldn’t see. They [the UFC] did a good job on the care. I fell like the eye, I lost vision.”

Furthermore, Joe Pyfer clapped back at his haters, while promising his fans to return stronger after sorting out what went wrong against Jack Hermansson. “All my haters, suck a fat d**k. I wasn’t supposed to be here anyway. I gave it a 100 percent every time and [I] will make adjustments and come back,” he added. It will be interesting to see how Pyfer receivers form this defeat, given that he still has a good record under his belt.

UFC Vegas 86 did not live up to expectations

The UFC just wrapped up with the UFC Vegas 86 Fight Night event, which saw Dana White’s prospect, Joe Pyfer, suffer a loss to Jack Hermansson. However, fans did not seem to enjoy the event like they have enjoyed Fight Night events in the past. One fan took to Twitter (X), explaining that the card for the event had no energy at all.

If that wasn’t enough, the crowd in attendance also did not seem to be encouraging the fighters as they walked out to fight inside the Octagon. As such, the fans were disappointed with the UFC for putting on such an event, claiming that it negatively affected their experience of watching UFC fights. We will have to wait and see if Dana White takes notice of these remarks to make sure fans don’t go home unhappy after watching a UFC event.
