It’s been days since Dana White promised to announce the UFC 300 main event, but there have been hardly any updates regarding the fight. White even said that if he doesn’t come up with the announcement soon he would oil up. This increased the anticipation of the fans, who were left with nothing but disappointment after the CEO’s latest social media post.

In his latest escapade, White, instead of sharing any update about the UFC 300 main event, took time out of his schedule to announce Power Slap fights. Well, this was the boiling point for the fans.

Fans demand UFC 300 main event announcement from Dana White

It’s not like Dana White does not have fighters who are ready to fight. However, there has been an unusual silence from the UFC CEO regarding the main event bout for UFC 300. Conor McGregor, Alex Pereira, and Tom Aspinall have been waiting for their call, but till now there’s no sign of them fighting in the main event in April.

Just as expectations were high for a proper main event, White surprised everyone by dampening the expectations of MMA enthusiasts. UFC, rather than announcing the main event of the grand event, announced the news about Power Slap. In an Instagram post, White said, “Power Slap 6 this Friday, February 9 from the sold-out Durango Resort & Casino. The prelims start at 7:30 on the east coast and the main card starts at 9 o lock on the east coast.

The main card will feature Chris Thomas (5-0, 5 KOs) vs. Emanuel Muniz (4-2, 1 KO) for the welterweight title in the main event. The co-main event will see Sheena “The Hungarian Hurricane” Bathory (2-0, 2 KOs) take on newcomer Jackie “The Hybrid” Cataline.

Dana White had a unique bet with MMA personality Nina Marie Daniele, where he committed to disclosing the UFC 300 main event if their collaborative video garnered over 10,000 likes. The accompanying caption unveiled the terms of the bet, stating, “Dana White said if this video gets 10,000 comments he will announce UFC 300 main event this week or we get to oil him up.” 

It looks like the time may have come for Dana White to oil up as fans took to UFC’s social media to unleash their wrath on the promotion as well as the CEO.

One fan hilariously commented, “We’re gonna a put so much oil on you, the US will invade.”

A fan had it enough with the UFC it seems and wrote, “Enough is enough man.”

Furthermore, another fan reminded White about the promise, “We want UFC 300 or we want Oil.”

One fan questioned, “Where is 300 main event.”

A frustrated fan had it enough and stated that it’s a joke to call Power Slap events fights, “He is calling these fights? What a joke.”

A fan simply said he doesn’t care about Power Slap, “dude we don’t care. give us the 300 main event.”

The Power Slap event is set to happen at Durango Resorts and earned massive praise from former dual-weight champion Conor McGregor. ‘The Notorious’ wrote, “The Durango looks AWESOME! @durangoresort.”

It can be understood from the reactions of the fans that they are not amused by the recent announcement. White’s UFC 300 is probably going to be the highlight of the year but the card seriously lacks a main event. Nonetheless, let’s look at the potential main events of the night.

UFC 300 potential main events

The month of April shall witness the much-awaited UFC 300 event. Dana White is taking his time to announce the fights, but who are the potential fighters who have the stardom to headline the biggest card of the year?

When it comes to PPV there’s hardly any fighter who comes close to Conor McGregor. The face of the UFC has been itching to make a comeback and what would be better for him than to headline UFC 300? His opponent Michael Chandler is also ready to take on the former dual-weight champion. But barring these two, who else is an option?

The champ-champ match between Alex Pereira and Tom Aspinall. The light heavyweight champion vs. the interim heavyweight champion is something unheard of but recent cryptic back and forth by Aspinall and Pereira has added a newfound probability that they could clash at UFC 300 or in the future. There’s a high chance that the UFC is looking at them for a fight. Last but not least, former champion Israel Adesanya has hinted that he is coming back at UFC 300. Be that as it may, the clock is ticking on White to announce the fight.
