UFC 300 was one of the biggest events of 2024 till now. Dana White did not leave any stone unturned when it came to this event that happened in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card was Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill fighting for the Light Heavyweight Championship, which ended in a magnificent KO by Pereira. Since it was the hundredth-anniversary affair, it was a large-scale occasion and fans were extremely hyped up and all the fighters gave a night to remember.

However, fasten your seatbelts because the excitement does not end there because bigger cards are coming at the middle and end of 2024. With Conor McGregor finally fighting Michael Chandler the UFC 303, and Jon Jones defending his championship belt against Stipe Miocic, things are about to get fired up. Not only that but according to Daniel Cormier, these fights might overshadow the glory of UFC 300.

Dana White did not leave any stone unturned and provided UFC fans with a bombastic event in UFC 300. Not only the record-breaking PPV events but the CEO also delivered an edge-of-the-seat excitement for fans. He even spent a whopping $25 million in total payout following UFC 300. However, the UFC CEO has planned other fights that might overshadow the hundredth-anniversary event.

Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic was supposed to happen in Madison Square Garden for UFC 295 but got canceled due to Jones’s injury. However White recently confirmed that Jon Jones versus Stipe Miocic will happen in MSG in November 2024. DC thinks this might be bigger than the previous fights. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Cormier questioned, “I talked about it yesterday will UFC 300 still be the event of the year by the end of the year?”

Stipe Miocic recently suggested MSG as the venue for his fight and said that the fight might be at the end of November at Madison Square Garden which would add more hype since Jones is from NYC. DC added to the same train of thought and said that this fight along with the others scheduled for the rest of 2024 might loom high over UFC 3oo’s success. He stated, “What I do know is that if they can put this fight together in Madison Square Garden, it would be amazing. Guys, if you think about some of these fights that potentially can land on some of these cards  it would be crazy.”

DC listed some of the upcoming fights starting from McGregor vs Chandler to Jones vs Miocic. Even though Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill gave a magnificent fight and Pereira retained his light heavyweight title, UFC 300 could be overshadowed by the other fights decided for the rest of 2024 and even Chael Sonnen thinks the same.

Uncle Chael declared that not only Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler might overshadow UFC 300, but Jon Jones vs Stipe Miocic could do the same. He said, “But I don’t know that 300 is just up against the McGregor’s, or the Makhachev’s, or even Stipe and Jones. I think there’s still some room for an unforeseen. Conor McGregor, without a question, has a plan. He for sure has an ace in his sleeve. If he wins, he’s going to reveal that for us and that could end up being the biggest one of ‘24.”
