UFC 300 is the most highly-anticipated fight night in recent years, and fans are speculating over who will appear.\u00a0McGregor hasn&#8217;t been in a UFC fight since he broke his leg in July 2021, but he is expected to make a comeback in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>White has, so far, offered very few clues over who will appear at the historic fight night, marking the 300th Pay-Per-View event in the company&#8217;s history. The original UFC 200 card, before fight cancellations, featured three title fights as well as the return of former heavyweight king Brock Lesnar.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, expectation is through the roof, with fans expecting numerous title bouts and big-name stars throughout the card. Speaking to TNT Sports, White suggested fans have every reason to be excited.<\/p>\n<p>White explained: &#8220;The difference between a 300 is &#8211; if you look at the card this weekend, it&#8217;s awesome &#8211; you want to build these amazing cards that make people lose their mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/167\/590x\/secondary\/5116088.jpg?r=1702578165484\"><\/p>\n<p>He also said: &#8220;There&#8217;s also much more to it with 300, what is the feel of the show going to be? We put on a live event and a television show too.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What are we going to build around the event? What&#8217;s going to make 300 more special than this Saturday night, the last pay-per-view of the year?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He raised the bar even higher, saying: &#8220;What you can expect is the first prelim of the night, you&#8217;re going to go &#8216;Holy s***! This is the first prelim of the night, this is insane, this isn&#8217;t even right. These two shouldn&#8217;t be on the first prelim on the night&#8217; That is how good 300 is going to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/167\/590x\/secondary\/5116089.jpg?r=1702578165542\"><\/p>\n<p>Such comments from White have sparked rumours of Ronda Rousey returning to the octagon after a\u00a0seven-year\u00a0break. Rousey has been with WWE but left in October.<\/p>\n<p>As for McGregor, it&#8217;s unlikely he&#8217;ll fight at 300 as he&#8217;s reportedly undergoing USADA drug testing until June, with July being his expected return date.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/ufc\/1845733\/UFC-Dana-White-Conor-McGregor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dana White is getting ready for a show-stopping card at UFC 300, but it&#8217;s unlikely Conor McGregor will feature.
