I guess you are still not late for the latest events that we got although I really don't think comparing the previous events to the events now would be a great idea and I don't really see the point, in doing such a thing, which it is not necessarily but the latest event now is not that great in my opinion but it is also not that lousy as I think that there are some fights in this card that are interesting from the main event to the Co-Main it will be interesting to watch for sure there will be a fight that will have a great ending some knockouts or submission.

BREAKING NEWS

It seems that Diego Lopes's payment for the UFC 300 was withheld by the Nevada State Athletic Commission or NSAC for stepping out of the ring by climbing it talking to Dana White then returning back up to the ring again which is ridiculous in my opinion sure I really think that this should be not a big deal at all as there is no one that got hurt only Sodiq Yusuff when Diego Lopes knocks him out but Arman Tsarukyan might also get his purse withheld and even had the possibility to be suspended and get ban in the sports which I think got the point because he punches a fan on the walkout but for Diego Lopes to have his purse be held like that is really ridiculous this kid is just making his name and I think that he needs that money to pay all of his debts from his trainer and teams that help him win the fight for me this is really ridiculous.

The bad thing about upcoming events is that there will always be comparisons with past events. But this card has everything to have great fights! Looking forward to the next numbered cards!

The hype on the UFC 300 is calming down a little bit but it's still there.

Let's go to the next event.

Good luck on your bets guys.

I understand your point, but the opinion really ends up being subjective to each person. In any case, I respect your way, but as I said in numbers there is no way to compare. However, in relation to the audience that didn't watch fights and started watching this specific event, it was much bigger than any other, in my opinion.

No I don't. You can argue all you want but you will be wrong. According to this educational website they will agree with my sediments on this conclusion:

https://asi.cpp.edu/ufc-300-your-guide-to-mma-and-the-biggest-event-in-combat-sports-history

It's subjective and will be different for other people.

Yes, yes, as I said, and I'm sorry if I expressed myself poorly. There were other bigger events, however, of the events I witnessed, UFC 300 was the one that burst the bubble the most in the sense that people outside the fight world talked more about it. The numbers are unquestionable, you are absolutely right and I agree. However, in my opinion, it broke many barriers. Do you understand my point here?

@Pumared
Those numbers collected post the entirety of the whole event don't lie!

Yes, it really is one of the biggest. However, this 300th event had a difference in that it broke the bubble of many groups. I saw people who had never seen fights talking about it. And it's something I haven't seen at any time in other events. I myself have seen people betting on fighters they have never seen fight. I won a lot betting, but it's interesting to see it from this side too

Dang! I missed the UFC 300 because I was on vacation with my family but I still even though I haven't got any bets or any glimpse for the UFC 300, but right now I am watching and keeping myself active again in the UFC and what is happening right now,

Alex Pereira VS Jamahal Hill

It was a funny thing that the low blow was the trigger to take the fight to stop but Alex Pereira didn't let that happen by stopping Herb Dean from saying that he was OK kudos to Alex Pereira for not getting it in his head he surely is one badass fighter for doing something like that and for sure he is the one that is in focus in that fight and not Jamahal Hill.

Weili Zhang VS Xiaonan Yan

It was a master-class performance for Zhang Weili even though it was not a knockout or a submission like she thought it was because she thought that Xiaonan Yan likely fainted, I think not it was still a dominant performance for Zhang Weili.

Max Holloway VS Justin Gaethje

Max Halloway went berserk and crazy against Justin Gaethje it was the punch that KO'ed him and it was for the BMF Title a special belt for the Most Badass fighter, and it was really a crazy fight, both fighters didn't stop punching the other and it was the rolling back kick of Holloway that was the initial strike from the start that have Gaethje back off and got him damage his nose that got him slightly become slower that has been the key for Holloway in winning.

Well, these are some of the fights that I watch, and still will be watching the other fights for sure.

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"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhYoUlhRUjY
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:

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.
