Dana White denies Brock Lesnar & Ronda Rousey UFC 300 rumors

Since nothing official has been revealed for the UFC 300 scheduled for April of 2024, there will inevitably be a lot of conjecture.

Veteran of the UFC and podcaster Brendan Schaub has added a little gasoline to the fire by claiming that Ronda Rousey was given enormous sums of money to return to the UFC 300 company.

They allegedly promised Ronda Rousey more money than you can ever fathom if she would return, but she declined, according to reliable sources, according to Schaub.

It’s similar to the man who says, “Dude, she’s ugly,” when he can’t have the hot female. Schaub continued, “That’s Dana’s like, No dude, we never offered, she’s not fighting.” I’m not claiming Dana offered the deal; it’s possible that Dana didn’t do it. They allegedly promised her more money than God, and she said, “I’m good,” based on what I understand. Ronda is a very intelligent woman who owns houses, farms, and other companies. None of it is necessary for her to do. No, she said.

Another frequently mentioned event for the highly anticipated mega-card is Brock Lesnar’s comeback.

Dana White, the head of the UFC, has been dousing these rumors in ice for some time now.

White, the UFC’s president and CEO, told the UK Independent, “I understand why everyone asks.” That everyone loves them so intensely and in that way makes me very happy. And so do I. However, they most certainly won’t be returning for UFC 300.

Brock Lesnar and I have always had a great working relationship. It’s ironic to say this given how moody he is, but I think of Brock Lesnar as a buddy.

I’m in love with Ronda Rousey. She is among the best athletes I have ever collaborated with. She is a trailblazer, a role model for females, and a total badass for the UFC.

What a waste of that. But what remains for UFC 300 now that the two former UFC heavyweights are out of the running?

Daniel Cormier has a unified field theory for UFC 300

Daniel Cormier, a former two-division UFC champion and current UFC commentator, has a hypothesis that may make for a solid UFC 300 event.

Brock [Lesnar] was at UFC 100, right? As Cormier stated on his DC & RC show, “With Georges St-Pierre and all those guys.” It was supposed to be me and [Jon] Jones at UFC 200, but it was actually me, Anderson Silva, Brock, and all these big-name fighters, Cormier stated. Such is the name that UFC 300 must have. Currently, Brock Lesnar is not with us. Thus, in my opinion, you need to pit Conor McGregor against Michael Chandler. Michael Chandler, in my opinion, finally gets his chance in the main event. How amazing is it that Michael Chandler will be the main event of UFC 300?

In addition, Cormier plans to place a pair of title bouts beneath the McGregor-Chandler showdown.

Cormier went on, “Co-main event, I know that Jones and Stipe [Miocic] won’t be ready when I look down the line.” Whoever wins the [interim heavyweight] title this weekend, in my opinion, will need to compete once more. Then, Leon Edwards or Colby Covington will be free once more, correct? because they have a December bout [at UFC 296]. It will be one of them, if not both, in my opinion. At UFC 300, there will also be fights between the interim heavyweight champion and the welterweight champion.
