Nobody cares about Jones Vs Stipe. It should be Jones Vs Aspinall
i do
only Jones fanboys want that fight because they know Jones isn't in trouble vs Stipe at 42
@@digg_7 no, it’s for legacy
Aspinall kills Jones
Only new ones think Tom should fight Jones. They've not watched long enough to understand what a booked fight is 💀
Notice he’s saying England not London
All uk fighters been saying its Manchester in late July
That's a good thing
What's the difference?
@@crazypato3752knives
CO-OP Live opening next month in Manchester next to the Etihad.
Leon Vs Belal main event Aspinall Vs Blaydes Co main, calling it now
Anyone from the Uk like me don’t get too excited about the Ppv as cheapest tickets for the nosebleeds will be around £500 if it’s anything like the last Uk card, this card os for the middle class and above
Dana is the greediest man alive
£500 isn’t that much money. Just get a better job?
Just supply demand
Can't blame them for charging it if they are selling out every ppv, it's the fight game, it's all about money for fighters and promoters
@@digg_7shame the fighters aren’t gonna see much of it
Should’ve been stipe v Aspinall for 300 winner gets jones when back from injury
Stipes terrified. Seen what he did to Pavlovic
I'm sorry but stipe would get absolutely SMOKED nowadays especially
Pavlovich is the white Francis and look for Francis did to Stipe..💀
@@ravk5266 Francis Is Francis and Sergei is Sergei. Stop this White Francis non Sense. They don't even fight similar
Stipe turned down the Aspinall fight
It's so cool to see Dana genuinely get excited whenever he mentions England 🏴
In the meantime, TOM against anybody in the heavyweight division in England🏴
Make the apex 2500 capacity with movie theater set up.
the TNT audio guy strikes again 🙄
Got to be Aspinall headline with Leon Belal co main surely
UFC 100 i always remember, gsp alves was WOW. I became an alves fan
They need to do a stadium like in Cardiff or something. The atmosphere would be insane
Correct but the UFC choose smaller venues because they can charge more per ticket. He keeps going on about the gate but all that means is people are spending more to buy tickets
@@vivalaskelton they don't play at stadiums because of weather concerns and, secondarily, they need enough big screens for all fans to be able to see the action. Retractable domes and fancier stadiums being more common will allow this eventually. I bet they do UFC Spain at Bernabeu this fall
@@MMAVoodoo Cardiff stadium has a retractable roof
Why in boring wales? 😂
He'll no England stadium = rain and gloom forget that.. o2 is fine.
UFC 300 looks insane 💪 so many great fights from the early pre lims to the main card 💪 bring it on! I am looking forward to it!!!
Jones vs Miocic has been in the works since 2022 back at PPV where Pavlovich fought Lewis
I think the Saudi Arabia card will be headlined by chimaev vs cannonnier. Costa has been saying he has fight news and that he will fight in June, but wouldn't make sense for him to fight cannonnier when jared should be in a title eliminator fight, and costa is coming off a loss to Whittaker. So, that being said, the next middleweight fights should be: Chimaev vs Cannonier, Whittaker vs Strickland, and Costa vs Imavov.
Having Jamal hill as the main event of 300 ruins it for me
100%
It's fookin shocking. Big L. Leon v nate v masvidal v what's his name in a 4 way fight should of been it.
How? The man is a knock out artist?
@@j.a.g.8689all his best wins are either old men or guys coming off losses, he hasn't been tested/proven enough to main event such a prestigous card. Alex it's ok I think because of history in combat sports and he is a huge star.
@@emootikoah8156I get it but having Alex defend against anyone else would be criminal to jamahal. It would be in jamahals achilles best interest though to not fight the best leg kicker in the ufc after a year out.
Lex fridman yesterday and tnt today , i could listen to Dana for days
Yup Tom is now the top statleader out of 4050 fighters with: shortest fight time, best strike differential, least bottom pos time and least bottom pos time as% total time. He also has 3rd most strikes p min and 4th most knockdowns p 15 mins. He wd be first for takedown defence with 100% and 2nd for sig strike accuracy after overeem if his fights lasted long enough to make 350 strike and 20 attempted takedown thresholds to qualify. Other top ten fighters incl Oliveira, gsp and Jim miller with three first each.
Stacked! Can’t wait for it and to see it live 🔥
Does he mention the 5 fighters that turned down 300? I bet not 😂
Hi Ariel 👋 Always crying 😂
@@jonoharper4729 ahhh the old "crying" comment. How dare anyone mention any facts.
I cant miss any of the fights apart from the Bo Nick fight.
Uncle Dana is the man
No lies detected about dana. He produced exactly what he promised
Shout out to Lenae she is always grinding by Dana's side ❤
2:11 "..almost every single fight features a ranked contender.." 🙄
We’re going to England 👌 Dana knows where it’s at
Am i the only one who thinks ufc 300 is stacked af?
It is stakked, it just doesn't have that killer main fight that appeals to the causals.
Imagine this matches the UFC Sydney card and every fight is a finish 🤔
Love how Dana says England while TNT constantly bang on about Britain/UK, when 95% of the time they mean England.
Literally... Who cares lol
Me as an Englishman.
Gotta be Manchester surely!
7 minute interview. Great.
😂 where the full ?
please be at the co op arena in manchester
I think it’s gonna be a card but I don’t get why bo is on the main card over some of the bigger names that aren’t
I def could miss the Nickal fight, no prob, AND HE’s ON THE MAIN CARD! 🤦🏽♂️
This video is very good. there are lessons to be learned
Makes me wonder if Conor met up with Dana since he did interview at the same time with this guy
So it’s Aspinal vs Blaydes main event and Leon vs Belal co-main.
looks like it and i am fine with it. 🤓
Jones vs Stipe is a good idea for fight, for Bones' legacy, but the UFC is currently shi*ting all over Aspinall... Thats bad craic. In all honesty, I cant see Jones / Stipe happening anytime soon. Keep the division moving.
I agree, but jones is a champion. Champions are supposed to fight the best contender. If jones wants to pick fights and have a legacy fight then he needs to vacate the title. This isn’t wwe.
adam glazes dana like ariel glazes francis
Bring back the ferita brothers
whoa that was a rough cut to the interviewer lol
UFC 300 IS STACKEDDDDDD
If your the champion they should have home advantage every title fight
I'd love a stadium show in the UK, but it's been pi$$ing it down for 3 months. Millennium Stadium in Cardiff would be the only option since it has a roof.
Doesn’t Wembley have a roof too
Nope, only Cardiff unfortunately.
300 is aight
SAME AS YOUR MUMS THROAT. BE YOUR HERE.
300 should be $99.99 PPV tbh
Barely too
lorenzo fertitta was the real Don......if this was "Public Enemy", lorenzo would be "Chuck D and Dana would be Flavo Flav
Dana would still be a bellman without the Fertitta's.
Dana would just be a hanger on. Everyone knows Lorenzo was the brains behind the UFCs meteoric rise and now it's Ari Emmanuel driving the ship.
@@derekjones2835y’all are insane y’all always discredit the most “famous “person in every situation just cuz their known and always give the most credit to the less known. Lorenzo was just a cash cow
Needs a brock Connor or rhousey return to tip it too the stratosphere. Still a very good card 👌
Get Bo off the main card and then it could be great
It honestly disgusts me that a fighter who’s 4-5 in the ufc is on the main card of ufc 300. The ufc is literally making their ppv look worse. Put brundage at the bottom of the prelims.
300 is the best, stacked card yet and anyone who doesn't agree is delusional. Was Alex v Hill underwhelming? Yes, it was going to happen anyway. But top to bottom, its and absolute besst
Big risk for Tom to defend the Interim belt. He deserves the title shot now.
Either that or hes not gonna fight until next year most likely, he needs to make the most of his prime. Plus we see tom as the real champ anyway.
Main card Leon v Shavkat ( bin off belal ) Aspinal v Curtis blaydes rematch MVP v wonderboy Ian Garry v Luque Arnold Allen v Josh Emmett Paddy v sober
*Dober
re book lerone Murphy v Nathaniel wood
Mythical Fighter : Drew Sober
Bo Nickel and Cody Brundage being on the card is ridiculously stupid.
Aspinall vs Gane and Paddy vs Benoit!
both won`t happen. 🤓
Edwards VS anybody but Bilal please 😂
get sber first - before any interview . pls
U cant have one fighter holding up a division...aspinal is the real champ...interim champ is the real champ in my eyes...the champ couldnt defend, so he gets stripped, and when hes ready he gets to fight the champ. If stipe wants to fight jones, he can do it with a victory over aspinal...i see aspinal decimating stipe...
But that would mean the champ doesn't lose their belt. I mean they lose their belt and their spot without having even fought, because they got injured or something. How is that fair?
Jones should vacate, then get a mandatory shot once he is back. Aspinall is cleaning up at the moment and jones is stifling.
I seriously believe that 300 wont top 298 or 299
Neither Jon or Stipe will risk fighting Tom.
Fight night cowboy vs dos anjos 2. was way better
Bro stipe actually is a joke been out like 5 years at this point feels like 😂😂 Francis boxed fury and aj since koing him also no interest in seeing someone who went to war with dc over three fights barley won fighting Jon jones
Same questions, same answers - Just a couple of would/could be updates.
It will be strange when Dana goes.
Honestly UFC 300 is a bit lackluster.
Honestly the card is great but without a banger of a Main Event (mixed with my expectations for 300) I'm just not that arsed about it
They should move some fights to UFC 301, very weak card
No one wants to see jones vs stipe. Making somebody defend an interim title is a joke. If jones vs stipe is so big then why does it need a title on the line, let the division move on. jones and stipe have both fought once in 4 years.
Stipe has waited out too long now, he's lost all relevancy in todays Heavyweight division in my opinion
Compare how this guy talks to Dana vs Eddie Hearn 😂 never trust this fella.
UFC 300 is unbelievably mid
MMA should be massive in the uk. we have so many talented fighters yet we get 1 event a year? seems like dana doesn’t care about uk since we got a couple of world champs.
We get 2 per year generally
It's not down to the UFC or Dana. It's the time. That's the hurdle. If at some point there are far less 4am US cards, then that's the only way it could change.
Well aspinall doesnt have a real belt and leon only fought kamaru and colby so far
Uk is not a big market, Unlike U.S Mexico Abu Dhabi and maybe china and Japan too
@@thehighlightreal3128 dumbest reply i’ve ever seen
Come on, there was quite a bit of bs
This might as well have been an AI interviewer... softest questions ever
Good ❤❤❤❤❤
Dana’s gonna retire soon I can feel it wayyyy to many interviews lately
Having Stipe on the resume looks better than having Tom on the resume, So I get it.
2 fights I want Dana to make this year is Jones vs Aspinall and McGregor vs Diaz 3 at the sphere on Mexican independence Day.
I wanna see tom maul jones so bad.....
Chu
LETS GGOOOOO
Ufc has fallen of the past 2 years boxing is back on top !
lmao keep dreaming , tyson fury embarrassed boxing
Said no one ever. That Riyahd fight card with AJ v Wallin, Wilder v Parker and Dubois v Miller was probably the most stacked boxing event in years. All of the others are the same, 1 main event taking all the money then a bunch of other fighters no one cares about putting their lives on the line for a paycheck of magic beans. Can't even be compared with UFC numbered events for quality and entertainment.
😂
In the UK it is, but globally UFC is without a doubt taking over. Not sure UFC will ever be bigger than boxing specifically in the UK.
Wtf next joke please 😂
300 is the biggest let down in history they should of been planning the card 6 months before it happened absolute joke
Dana wants us to be infront of the TV when the first prelims of the night starts, but yet he had to look at the paper sheet to tell us whos fighting, Realy disapointed with how the main event turned out. The fans wanted something special, a McGregor comeback, perhaps Islam vs Leon would have done it.
He tried to make those fights. Islam said no. Mcgregor been promoting roadhouse.
Hardest cope I've ever heard from a bald man.
where is the cope?
😂😂😂😂😂
These fights are becoming a joke …always falling threw and ppl holding devisions to random or holding them up with BS injuries and threats to retire even if they ever do fight again it’s ridiculous
Aspinall vs blades (co main) Leon Edwards vs khamzat or belal (co main) Paddy vs Moicano Then some random Filler fights will complete the UK ppv card 👍
This video is very good. there are lessons to be learned
