Dana White Vows to Deliver “Insane Card” for UFC 300

UFC President Dana White, known for delivering fights fans demand, has a history of doing so. The UFC Promoter has built-up excitement amongst fans for the milestone UFC 300. 

In a ‘TNT Sports’ interview, White talked about different things but one thing that stands out is that he hinted at the insane UFC 300 fight card. The 54-year-old suggested that even the first prelim fight would be enough to blow fans. He stated;

“What you can expect is… The first prelim of the night for you to be going like, ‘Holy sh*t. This is the first prelim of the night? This is insane. This isn’t even right. These two shouldn’t be on the first prelim of the night.’ That’s how good UFC 300 is going to be.”
