Dana White gave an ornamental event with the UFC 300 and the electrifying fight cards along with the memorable 12 lineups of fighters who delivered amazing fights in the octagon. However, even after the excitement of the fans and the performances of the fighters, there was a specific group of UFC buffs who seemed to be full of criticism for the PPV event. This made the UFC head honcho speak up on social media and address the issue.

UFC 300 gave amazing KOs from Alex PereiraMax Holloway, and Kayla Harrison which became a part of the UFC history and all the fights garnered praise from the majority of veterans and fans. Even so, White took all the chances to snap back at critics and established the success of UFC 300 both with action and words during a recent post-fight press conference for UF St Louis.

White answered a reporter on the success of UFC 300 and the criticism it received in the post-fight press conference. He said, “It is always fun, always you know that I always take the low road, that’s my favorite thing to do.” He specifically mentioned how he did not take the high road and slammed the critics. UFC fans were excited about the main fight between Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill in UFC 300. However, other fans wanted Israel Adesanya and Pereira. White was fixed on his decision and was optimistic about the former duo and said that this fight had the potential to be historic.

However, fans had other opinions and commented on it. Meanwhile, the UFC head honcho did not stay silent at all and reiterated that he knows how to handle the UFC events because of his two-decade experience. “I love EVERYONE of these comments!!!! Nothing better than hearing from the EXPERTS,” White remarked sarcastically.

Even the MMA experts were in on the criticism, but White stuck to his decision. Some even predicted that UFC 300 would not sell as many tickets as the previous fights. However, UFC 300 did stand the test of judgment and broke records of becoming the largest UFC attendance in the T Mobile arena history. It was also the most watched prelims on ESPN. So White truly showed his prowess with his actions and words. And now he is ready to make Conor McGregor have the biggest return in UFC 303 against Michael Chandler.

There is one milestone that UFC has yet to pass and it is the $20 million PPV in UFC history. Meanwhile, according to White, this history could be made in UFC 303. In the same post-fight press of St Louis UFC, he was asked about this and said, “It’s way over twenty million.”

White even slammed Stephen Espinoza, who claimed that UFC can never reach $20 million and said, “Who gives a flying f**k what Espinoza, Where is Espinoza! Who gives a sh*t.” It seems like Dana White is pretty confident about the UFC 303 main card. Do you think it will cross the threshold of a $20 million PPV?
