This should be UFC 300

[jackleeb]

The current #1 PPV in MMA is UFC 229: Khabib vs McGregor (2.4 Million Buy Rate, $180M+ Revenue)
This lineup would surpass that.


Early Prelim:
- Ciryl Gane vs Jailton Almeida
- Dustin Poirier vs Colby Covington
- Kamaru Usman vs Robert Whittaker
- Ian Garry vs Jack Della Maddalena

Prelim:
- Jiri Prochazka vs Khalil Rountree
- Justin Gaethje vs Benoit Saint Denis
- Alexander Volkanovski vs Charles Oliveira
- Leon Edwards vs Shavkat Rakhmonov
- Islam Makhachev vs Arman Tsarukyan II
- Special Surprise: Khabib vs GSP (grappling only)

Main Card:
- Sean O'Malley vs Max Holloway
- Israel Adesenya vs Khamzat Chimaev
- Alex Pereira vs Tom Aspinall
- Conor McGregor vs Anyone
- Jon Jones vs Francis Ngannou





Make it happen for the fans. This is what the world wants.

 

[The Boomerang]

No problem

Sent word to Dana

It’s happening

 

[Pingu]

No, if Jim Miiller is not on the card i wont pay for it.

 

[markys00]

Terrible

 

[MichiganMMA1978]

That is the card....



















Somewhere in the multiverse

Belal deserves to fight Leon next

 

[Myrddin Wild]

The biggest PPV's prior have been both Mac vs. Diaz fights at 1.5 & 1.3M buys. Mac did another at 1.3 in his prime, but most people barely reach 1M buys.

Mac vs. Khabib was an anomaly, and there are no stars at that level anymore. Not even Mac... though Mac would likely give it the boost it needs to get over a mill if they bring Diaz back for teh trilogy.

Even if the card is stacked from top to bottom, you still need that magical unicorn headliner that bringz teh casualz in by teh droves. Thinking this card can pass a Mill is about right, but no way it shoots through teh roof at 2.4M.

Multiple title fights on prelims then no fighters left for any other PPVs for the next 3-6 months…we can dream I guess

 

[Ares Black]

Ciryl Gane, Kamaru Usman, Robert Whittaker, Dustin Poirier and Colby Covington all on the early prelims?

That's some of the funniest shit I've ever seen.


But then I got to Gaethje, Volkanovski, Oliveira, Edwards, Rakhmonov, Tsarukyan, and Makhachev on the prelims. Even funnier.

There are about four PPV main event level fights just on the prelims (which will have very little effect on buyrate).

This list is completely ludicrous and detached from reality. Not to mention how much it would cost to pay all of these fighters, or the fact that Ngannou is signed to another organization.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

There aint enough time to successfully organize that type of all-out show by April, you need over 6mo to get that to happen

I mean dollar signs move mountains but thats a shit-ton of negotiating with top talent

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Leon vs Shavkat on prelims lol what a joke of a 300 thread

 

[ultra321]

Meh.... better fights on the prelims than the main card....
Biggest (both interest and grossing) fight they could make with current fighters is McGregor vs Gaethje.... maybe..... maybe top that with Jones vs Ngannou but that's not likely to happen...

 

[Fjord]

Would've liked it better if it was more of a realistic line up. Never going to happen with some fighters scheduled for a fight a short time before 300 and others dealing with injuries.

Lesser threads have gotten people banned.

Rousey needs to return

Insane card! Absolutely terrific! Just one problem.

Spoiler: The Problem

What's the UFC going to do the rest of the year?

 

[Tweak896]

That's a whole year of PPVs in modern UFC. UFC 300 is going to be hard to put together and live up to previous ones. Even a Conor return barely holds it up. Needs someone like Brock, GSP, Ronda, or some wild card to boost it up.

 

[OldBoy91]

Lol at having title fights on the prelims and throwaway meaningless non title fights on the main.

No way UFC would harm their own brand like that.

People make too much of the first 2.

Shannon Gugerty fought on UFC 100 ffs. Fitch was on the main card.

200 was ravaged by injuries and Miesha Tate was the main event.

They can easily equal 100 and 200. What OP is asking for with main event level fights from top to bottom and world title fights on the prelims is too much though. If this is the level of fan expectation the the UFC is never going to be able to match it.

 

[haj02]

It wouldn't outsell McGregor vs Khabib as there is no dance partner like Khabib currently available for Conor. Stacked cards do not outperform cards with a marque main event, that's not how it works. Fight fans would watch every fight and cream themselves over it but it's the casual audience that drives massive PPV numbers. It would do big numbers but not much more than the Conor vs Dustin cards.

 

[gokmev]

Why would UFC feed their cash cow to Anyone? Anyone would steamroll him.
