Actually here is another surprise for you on this fight from the biggest and baddest fight card ever
Arman Tsarukyan Claimed UFC 300 Judge Apologized
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM8X6QFEFss
For not calling it a win for Arman by unanimous decision instead of a split decision that it was called during the event.

Another thing is from this video that has been making the rounds from Dana himself acting out against he media on how they were calling the event a wash even before it happened. Here is a clip of it from some youtuber:
Dana White CALLS OUT Brendan Schaub!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VurURl3gP0Y

True! He is a beast!
If Jon Jones agrees, who will you bet for if ever Poatan battles him? This could be big and iconic if ever it happens and Pereira decided to climb up and test his strength. More money for Daddy Dana White.

I didn't know you were a big fan of UFC too. I rarely see you posts about it. Anyway, welcome.
Yeah, one of the biggest, that I could say. I don't think we have to argue with that because many UFC events in the past did make good money for Daddy Dana.
Even the former champion Aljamain Sterling was set in the preliminaries card only so that must mean the fighters above him are bigger-named fighters.
For me, it was the UFC BMF Title that set the standards of how a UFC fight should be. Obviously, Max Holloway was winning that fight and he and his corner knew it and yet he urged Gaethje to end it in the center of the octagon to brawl their last 10 seconds. That was superb!

Exactly be me and many others who are have made their lives surrounded by UFC.
Biggest can mean many things to different individuals.
To you it seems to be the bottom line in the terms of money made which does not include the gross amount made obviously from your last statement.

Mine were meant toward the star power generated on this card. If you a true fan of the sport.

Tell me has there been an event in the UFC that has had so many champions former and current on the same card?

I think not.

Have you watched all the podcasts, MMA former fighters such as Chael Sonnen&Daniel Cormier turned youtubers and so called professionals in the sports (MMAGuru) on to the buildup of this UFC 300 event?
Tell me one that hasn't said it was the biggest event before and after they had witnessed it.

The Baddest MFer champion bout was called the greatest knock out of all time in the UFC by almost everyone who follows the sport.

They will also claim UFC 400 as the most successful and highest-grossing event. We are just not sure who the new fighter will be but I'm sure it will also be nastier.

Alex Pereira going to heavy weight is really going to be the most awaited. Although many will doubt he will beat Jones, I think it's worth a try for him to do so. And then I guess a rematch before retiring. Fighting Tom Aspinall will be an ultimate test for this.

"Biggest event in the UFC history books" based on what, your opinion?
Other UFC events generated more revenue than 300, just so you are aware 

UFC today announced that UFC 300: PEREIRA vs. HILL, held on Saturday, April 13, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, was one of the most successful and highest-grossing events in UFC history.

Really, Poatan is on his way to entering the UFC hall of fame while he is still active, very interesting indeed. But I believe he will be able to break all these records soon. I'm totally betting on this, just as I won betting on him before, I'll continue betting.

I agree. The fan may be too aggressive and it should not happen again. Dana White should take care of this so that it will be avoided next time. Or perhaps, they should widen that fighter's entrance but damn it will be a waste of space that could be intended for the fans who will buy those tickets.

Chael Sonnen: Alex Pereira can become MMA GOAT if he wins UFC heavyweight title
https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2024/04/ufc-news-chael-sonnen-alex-pereira-can-become-mma-goat
I don't like Chael Sonnen but I will have to agree with this.
The same as what I said while he was still at middleweight after defeating the Stylebender Israel Adesanya, I think the light heavyweight is still not for him. He can still go up one more weight class and might still win the belt there. His punches are too strong and they say his fists are too big which is why it can create an impact like you are hit by a wood or a rock in the face.
I like the idea of him visiting the next weight class and trying it out. I don't think that he will lose something there, more of a gain and the fans would probably love to see that happen.

Think this was discussed more during his recent interview with MMAFightingonSBN the Monday after the fight:
Arman Tsarukyan Explains Why He Passed Up Islam Makhachev Title Shot After UFC 300 | The MMA Hour
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXM2x2fcWzs

From what others who were there said the guy actually started running away so Arman's blow never really landed. Even if the fan sued you don't think the UFC has enough money to hire the best lawyer and if they wanted to counter sue him for anything they want to at that point? Disruption of the event for one of the main fighters on while walking up to the octagon?
Why should this be allowed in an sport? If nothing is done then fans will continue to think they can do this at any UFC event and there won't be any repercussions. So put a stop to it now before it gets out of hand where fans are straight out tackling fighters on their walk out before even getting into the octagon to start their fight.

Anyways, back to the fighters and their interviews after they had some days to rest and clear their heads from the biggest event in the UFC history books.
And since there is no fight night event this weekend let move on to that.

He should not allow himself to react crazy like this, it doesnt matter what someone from crowd said or done to him.
I am surprised he was not already punished by UFC for doing this, and things are more complicated because he won by split decision against Oliveira.
And that guy from crowd is insane for trying to do this against any pro MMA fighter.

Arman Tsarukyan punched a guy on his walk-in.
Here is the footage that was taken.

And here is Dana White's answer about what happened.
UFC Fighter Punches Fan in crowd "We're Probably Gonna Get Sued"

Jump to 0:50.

And here is the statement of Arman Tsarukyan.
https://bloodyelbow.com/2024/04/14/dana-white-responds-to-ufc-300-star-fighting-crowd-members-before-his-walk-in/

Scary Arman.
I didn't know this happened until now. I rooted for Arman that night because I saw how good he was at escaping Oliviera's Guillotine choke but this is going to be a problem big time if they will be sued. If somehow it is proved that a punch didn't really happen then I think it's going to be okay though.
He said he wanted to punch him back but we didn't know if that landed.
Still, this should be looked out by UFC for disciplinary procedures.

Thanks but it was only one of my many bets I had placed for the night which I don't usually put in singles for UFC but as you had mentioned in your post announcing UFC 300 was on with the challenge, this card was difficult to determine who was going to win their fights.
So you basically had to go with your guy instinct and stick to it til the fights start.
Well that is how I approached this card with all the high profile fighters that are heavy hitters.
My other big win on the night was Kayla Harrison and Alex Pereira and Diego Lopes.

For the bonuses they can be viewed from the UFC website as those are official as I am not spokesperson for Dana White and knows what is in his head at all times.
So as any responsible grown-up person would do - Fact check for yourself! Best advice anybody can give.
Because as daddy Dana has said "Don't believe everything you read on the internet KIDS!"
https://www.ufc.com/news/bonus-coverage-2024-performance-fight-of-the-night

Here is a clip of what I watched when he said how the bonuses for UFC 300 were going to be split up between the fighters based on their performances:

Dana White Releases SECRET BONUSES for 4 Additional UFC 300 Fighters
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lghnc4ULWrA
We can only go by what he has stated as what really it is unless you are witness in the room while they are being paid, who the hell knows really.
All that I know is that I had seen videos of how much each of the fighters on this UFC card makes for their salaries and that is straight from the fighters themselves and not from the CEO of the UFC telling the public what he wants you to know.
There is a difference unless you don't live in the real world and believing what your told as fact.
I reiterate, do your own fact checking nobody is going to spoon feed you here.

This are all well deserved bonuses from this fight card.
Prochazka bonus was for his amazing comeback, he was losing the fight but he went for all or nothing and won the bonus.
I saw later one video showing him training on treadmill with weights in his hands punching, this is very hard to perform.
I want to see rematch with Rakic, but he is going to ask for title fight first.

^
Congratulations on that win!

Moicano In Bitcoin! Nice! I listened to his interview and I think he is trying to make a point about not being paid totally. I don't understand what is that all about but I think he experienced something before where he was not paid after the fight. Or is it just about the bonus because the fight earlier than them will receive it instead of them? I was actually confused as I thought every winner would receive it, but it will be a lot of money so I think he should do consolation for the other fights.

Jalin Turner made a big mistake there. He was too arrogant and did not finish the fight correctly. I bet that will be a lesson learned for him and maybe for every fighter who is trying to use a walk-off win. You cannot just do that before the referee stops the fight.

Renato Moicano to me was the shocker of the night were Turner had him laid out but just turned away and with that a possible $300k in the bank. I had also won grabbing him @3.25x odds for my best win of the whole entire night which also helped!

As for anyone who kept up with how the bonus structure was going to work, Dana said the $300k bonuses were designated across the preliminary cards and the main card: One bonus per each.
Then obviously the last for the fight of the night.


Of course in Dana White fashion, changed it as was explained during the post-fight presser for anyone who watched it in it's entirety.

But it seems what Moicano has to say is getting all the attention as per his expressive post fight interviews in the octagon would seem to suggest.

Money Mociano also wants to get paid in BTC for his bonus which he wasn't getting the whole $300k as mentioned during the post-fight presser:

I'm looking forward to McGregor's fight and Makhachev's. They could have fought at UFC 300, I don't understand why they didn't accept it, both of them. It would be epic. But, they need to keep up the good fights throughout the year.

They should have an epic card like this a lot more times a year

At the end of the UFC 300, If I remember it right Joe, DC, and Jon were talking about Alex climbing another weight class and that will be big for him if ever he wins the title there. 3 different divisions, he managed to get all the titles. His camp might want to think about trying it.
That will be exciting, Jones versus Alex. Rawr!

Jiri was a heavy hitter and just one punch can make a big difference. He doesn't punch in volumes but his accuracy will surely make it land and Rakic was stunned when he received it.

How about the fight between Arman Tsarukyan versus Charles Oliviera? That was phenomenal too. Arman escaped a lot of Guillotine chokes that were done by Charles and I was amazed at how strong his willpower was to never tap out although it was obvious that the chokes done by Charles were all tight. Pretty amazing to see such a fighter who can manage to escape them but he was lucky that the last choke didn't have enough time because if it did, he could've lost that fight.

Alex Pereira is just to strong for everyone in this division, and he made it look so easy to win 
Prochazka vs Rakic was another great fight, Rakic was better for most of the fight with leg kicks, but Prochazka pulled the ace in second round and won.
I think we can see Prochazka vs Pereira next, but if you ask me I think Pereira wins every time, Prochazka has many holes in his game.
This was maybe one of the best fight cards I watched in 2024.

Wow! Still trying to process what occurred in the fights last night.
It did live up to being an amazing fight card from start to finish and with the announcement every fight fan has been waiting for:

The first shock of the night was how Jalin Turner did a walk off KO but didn't know the fight was still going on because the referee didn't stop it.
He walked away from the potential first $300k bonus with that vital error on his part as Renato explains in his post fight interview:

Dana White tells that fight of the night was the BMF fight and both Max Holloway gets the $600k (of course divided out from the $300k x 4 bonuses proposed during the pre-fight press conference equaling out to $1.2 million paid out - Holloway taking $600k for the performance of the night & fight of the night while Prochazka received his from the prelims as per discussed during the press conference https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-dana-white-confirms-big-change-in-ufc-300-bonus-for-max-holloway-after-justin-gaethjes-devastating-ko ) . While the other fighters such as Kayla Harrison and Diego Lopes will get made whole from his post fight press conference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1ixMDARYss
Where he is given a piece of paper with the Conor McGregor fight date in June and announces it right there to applause finally we have the card and other fights on that same main card.

Volk had an instant reaction to the $600k bonus that many did to this during the press conference above:

Yeah, I ended up being Charles. However, Pereira was something spectacular. A quick fight with no chances for Jamal. In addition to being teased while he was unconscious on the floor. It was something incredible.

And it's over!


Alex Pereira defended his title with a big punch to the face of Jamahal Hill. Damn, he is strong. I am expecting the fight to last until 3rd or 4th round but that was just too fast. Now he is a real champion and the big question will be, who can defeat that guy?

Weili Zhang also defended her title. Yan showed some hopes that she could try and win but it ain't enough. Her take-down defense was weak.

The BMF title match was also amazing.

That's the real definition of a freaking "BMF". He is winning! Max Holloway could've just taken his time and let the buzzer sound but he fought a brawl against Gaethje in the last 10 seconds of the fight until the end risking his win. That's the real BMF!!! That may be one of the greatest knockdowns that I saw in UFC. He perfectly landed the punch.
Damn! I love that fight. Give it to Gaethje too, he is a monster for receiving all those punches and still recovering a lot of times.
