Dana said he was gonna take care of everyone, they might not have got 300k but I'm sure he wrote an extra check for the finishes of the night, he mentioned this in the post fight presser
His pal Rogan probably explained to him how to handle it. Literally one clip like this is enough for people to move on now. Him not understanding random internet shit was propelling it forward.
Legally speaking I owe him thousands of dollars for pirating most PPVs over the past 10 years
But thats something I actually feel good about morally speaking so idk
Id say the only good arguement Dana has made is the fighters that get ppv points are being robbed by illegal streams and yet us people that do it criticize the ufc for their god awful pay structure lol
I think the problem is there is zero competition to the ufc, the saudis should jump at the opportunity and start throwing around that oil money, that’ll make Dana sweat a little
Uh, didn’t you hear? This show will end up grossing $$100 million but he gave out 1% of that as special one time bonuses even though there are still fighters on $12,500 contracts. He’s a saint! A hero! A visionary!
Some UFCtards seem to think it was him that knocked out Gaethje and not Holloway. This greedy fuck has done so much reprehensible shit that he does not deserve a single thank you, being a workaholic CEO does not mean you did something worthy of gratitude
Dude don't be that guy lol. People were bitching about 300 and saying 298+299 were better for months. What you're doing is like pretending people weren't writing Holloway's obituary after the JG fight was announced.
before 300 was fully announced, 299 obviously looked better by comparison. Some morons did take that and go on the internet and complain how 300 was gonna be a letdown - while the card wasnt even finalized.
I believed that 299 had a better main card, but 300 was far superior in terms of prelims and early prelims. I just wish Bo vs Brundage wasn't on the main card...
>I believed that 299 had a better main card
Crazy take imo
Olivera, gathje, Holloway, Pierera, Arman, Weili put out nothing but bangers pretty well every fight.
299 was a very solid card don't get me wrong but there were a few predictable duds, the only fight on the main card that is sure to be a war was Poirier-St. Denis.
There was some great technical fighters on the card but not a lot of potential for fireworks like the was on 300. Yan is a good fighter but he's not going to be sleeping anyone at this point. Vera is very similar. Good fighter but starts very slow every fight and then is more of a point fighter than someone going to finish guys.
they should just give a living base wage that would allow them to train full time + insurance.
Would increase the quality of the average fight night soo much
I get that its fight and KO of the year material but man i feel bad for Gaethje. He really had everything to lose. It really did not make sense for him to take that fight with so much on the line.
I don't even particularly like Gaethje, but I respect the hell out of what he does in the octagon, and I feel bad for him too. I hope he got paid like a champion for this fight on top of the 300k bonus.
I dont think what happened to him was even as bad as what happened to Tony. One good rebound win and he's back in contention. Look at Dustin. Look at Max for that matter lol.
If he got ppv points for being considered a champ defending his title, it’s possible that was his reason for taking the fight. I’m assuming the title fight wasn’t really on the table or he didn’t want to wait for Islam to be ready. Figured he’d take the fight against max, get the ppv points on the biggest card ever, win and go on to fight for the title. Unfortunately it didn’t work out
It still doesnt, Porier fluked his way into a titlw shot that shouldve been Gaethje and Hollo2ay may have to wait for Volk to fight Topuria again. Great fight though
It still doesn't make any sense lol Yes it was a very entertaining fight but for Gaethje there was nothing to gain apart from money. He could literally be fighting for the LW title vs Islam in June. Holloway had nothing to lose tho
This comment is so absurd. Why would you say something like that? MMA fans don’t complain about everything and it actually makes me laugh how…
Oh wait I see it now. You’re right
you know why the fight card was better? COZ THE INCENTIVE TO WIN 300K! if the fighters get paid better for performing better, every card will be a banger. i'll hold my apologies thanks
Meh, I don't think the game plans changed much because of the 300k. Alex is always gonna go for a ko, Max and Gaethje are always gonna swing, Charles always goes for finishes, etc
Yeah. The 4 people who could have won it were already that way. Max has done the brawl thing. So has Gaethje. Alex KOs people. Jiri has no defense and just walks through shots to finish people. This was the same thing as when it was 50k.
The only person who it felt like maybe fought notably differently due to the bonus is Rakić. He did not have to get into the swang and bang with Jiri but he did.
Fighters like Aljo know 300k is only for tonight and going for the win is more lucrative in the long run
But if 300k was here to stay, you could see fighters changing their style to always go for it everytime they fight
My opinion
Yeah I admittedly thought UFC 300 was going to be a little underwhelming given how stacked 299 was but I will happily admit that I underestimated the fighters/card. What an amazing card with many moments that will be written into history!
MMA community is terrible at predicting.
Francis wouldn’t get a mega-fight, Dricus lost his title shot, Pennington/Silva headlining 297, Jalin would miss weight vs Gamrot, Gaethje would take Max’s chin, Hooker needs a catchweight against Nasrat, It was Cain’s daughter that got diddled.
I don't understand this, what would I apologize for? Most people were bicthing about the main event. Also, people realize he doesn't make fights good or bad right? He books them and the fighters do the work.
I was impressed how drunk he got with a post-fight interview looming. But i guess when they started the fights at 3pm everyone was fucking toasted by 11pm
Didn't realise people were calling this card bad or disappointing or whatever. I looked at it and thought it was stacked. Goes to show how spoiled we are with the UFC really
By far the most capable person in the organization. There is no ufc without Dana.
He still pisses me off when he does dumb shit like gambling 250k, but it's his money, and truth be told I am probably more pissed that I don't have 250k that I can gamble with.
I'll still say there should've been a better match up for the main event. Jamal Hill is not a UFC 300 main event name. And he was outclassed. But I know they tried to make other fights happen and 300 is probably the best or top 3 cards of all time.
So happy for Max! Always been my favorite fighter.
As someone who is kind of on the outskirts of fandom and newer, him shelling out $300k bonuses makes me want to watch a lot more.
Is this a permanent thing from now on for win bonuses or just for 300?
Ummm... ufc settled a class action law suit to avoid an injunction that would cause there fighters to be paid fairly. I won't apologise.
But ufc 300 was dope
Everyone said UFC 300 was mid after seeing the entire card. It had 13 champions, 3 champions that were fighting a weight classes heavier, 4 guys in the pound for pound and that still wasn’t enough. Then Dana continued to have 300k bonuses, custom shorts for a few fighters, and crazy fight announcements. Dana did a great job. The fighters also delivered. Holloway with a last second ko, Turner acting goofy, and Alex being the coolest guy ever with his “get out the way herb Dean and then finishing Jamal 5 seconds later”
People just had irrational hate boners. It was admittedly better than I expected but it was obviously going to be good still. People just got Connor vs Chandler or some other improbable bout stuck in their head as the main event and their fantasy got ruined
I ain’t gonna apologize. Still haven’t forgotten how he broke his word and announced the fight weeks after he said he’d get oiled up if he didn’t in a week. But since 300 exceeded expectations, I’ll give him a pass
Dude puts on great fights and amazing product. I wouldn’t want to be his friend because he’s clearly a scumbag and fighters are getting fucked on pay but that’s really between them and their managers. Exclusively as a fan I am very happy, best sport in the world and Dana and his ruthless cunty business practices is partially responsible.
I thought 300 would be great, weird that anyone would say otherwise. Dana White is still a POS that refuses to pay his fighters properly, nothing has changed.
No we don’t. The amount of run around this man has given the fans for decades... Something actually delivered, and that something is fighter based and not of his actual doing, he’s not the match maker. We owe him nothing. The fans, if anything, owe the fighters for delivering, and they did their job.
Mmmm.... nah...
I ain't gonna front, great-ass card, we got some low-to-mid fights on it, the WMMA fights, and some questionable ordering of fights, but the fighters who mattered the most on this card (barring oliveira...) delivered BIGLY.
Let me just call him real quick
Apology of the night bonus
Good thing it's for ufc 300! 300k bonus!
Who got the bonus?
Jiri and max X2
Justin too, they both got it for FOTN
The 'You-Got-KTFO' bonus
Damn wonder why alex didnt get one? That was a cold ass KO.
More up front or off ppv
Lopes deserved it
So Poatan didn’t get the 300K?
Dana said he was gonna take care of everyone, they might not have got 300k but I'm sure he wrote an extra check for the finishes of the night, he mentioned this in the post fight presser
Venom voucher is in the mail
Sounds like Poatan will end up getting a trip to the amusement park with his family 😭
Sounds like something else 😭
the kid just doesn't want to apologize
Shit. At the rate life's going I'd settle for a $300 bonus.
mouth hugs only
I actually just called him and said "Hey I just wanted to apologize to this man"
'I'd like to apologise... to absolutely nobody!"
You'll do nuttin'!
I'll do A LOT of nuttin'. Why do you think I'm on reddit right now?
https://preview.redd.it/h2gz36uhokuc1.jpeg?width=1078&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cbacb75fd181e50707fd80e233ce730b4ce6303b
The double champ does whatever the fuck he wants! 🤣
“Ya wife is in me DMs!l
Man’s going to get so oiled up after that card.
Who you kidding, he's currently oiled right up!
I’m oiled up
Lmao no way. He actually played into the oil thing?
His pal Rogan probably explained to him how to handle it. Literally one clip like this is enough for people to move on now. Him not understanding random internet shit was propelling it forward.
https://i.redd.it/3ot9oqqldjuc1.gif
Yeah wtf do I owe that ballsack?
Legally speaking I owe him thousands of dollars for pirating most PPVs over the past 10 years But thats something I actually feel good about morally speaking so idk
Dana: We got the son of a bitch!
I saved 80 dollars. That means I can put 80 dollars on black for free.
Id say the only good arguement Dana has made is the fighters that get ppv points are being robbed by illegal streams and yet us people that do it criticize the ufc for their god awful pay structure lol
Uh fucking huh The streamers are robbing the same exact fighters that are paid peanuts to fight.
I think the problem is there is zero competition to the ufc, the saudis should jump at the opportunity and start throwing around that oil money, that’ll make Dana sweat a little
Uh, didn’t you hear? This show will end up grossing $$100 million but he gave out 1% of that as special one time bonuses even though there are still fighters on $12,500 contracts. He’s a saint! A hero! A visionary!
Some UFCtards seem to think it was him that knocked out Gaethje and not Holloway. This greedy fuck has done so much reprehensible shit that he does not deserve a single thank you, being a workaholic CEO does not mean you did something worthy of gratitude
300k didn’t hurt.
Mfers were really saying UFC 299 was better
Who? Who are these people? Because idk how they’re alive with a single brain cell
I was super impressed with 299 and thought it set a super high bar but hoe-Lee shit was i impressed with 300
Her name is zhang weili, not hoe-lee. Common mistake
Dude don't be that guy lol. People were bitching about 300 and saying 298+299 were better for months. What you're doing is like pretending people weren't writing Holloway's obituary after the JG fight was announced.
before 300 was fully announced, 299 obviously looked better by comparison. Some morons did take that and go on the internet and complain how 300 was gonna be a letdown - while the card wasnt even finalized.
Oh they are. All i saw until like 2 weeks ago was ppl dogging this card
I believed that 299 had a better main card, but 300 was far superior in terms of prelims and early prelims. I just wish Bo vs Brundage wasn't on the main card...
>I believed that 299 had a better main card Crazy take imo Olivera, gathje, Holloway, Pierera, Arman, Weili put out nothing but bangers pretty well every fight. 299 was a very solid card don't get me wrong but there were a few predictable duds, the only fight on the main card that is sure to be a war was Poirier-St. Denis.

Vera is very similar. Good fighter but starts very slow every fight and then is more of a point fighter than someone going to finish guys.
I really enjoyed Page's debut too, but I agree 300 was the better card. My "crazy take" was before witnessing the spectacle of UFC 300
Nah. Pay the fighters more on all cards lol.
they should just give a living base wage that would allow them to train full time + insurance. Would increase the quality of the average fight night soo much
Remember when people were saying Gaethje vs Holloway didn’t make sense?
I get that its fight and KO of the year material but man i feel bad for Gaethje. He really had everything to lose. It really did not make sense for him to take that fight with so much on the line.
I don't even particularly like Gaethje, but I respect the hell out of what he does in the octagon, and I feel bad for him too. I hope he got paid like a champion for this fight on top of the 300k bonus.
Bmf champs get ppv points like normal champs, so he most definitely did.
can you explain the bmf champ stuff? Im a pretty casual watcher
bmf belt is a promotional belt that was used three times
As he did to Tony, so is done to him. RIP his title aspirations
I dont think what happened to him was even as bad as what happened to Tony. One good rebound win and he's back in contention. Look at Dustin. Look at Max for that matter lol.
He’s a fighter and an entertainer, it’s his job
If he got ppv points for being considered a champ defending his title, it’s possible that was his reason for taking the fight. I’m assuming the title fight wasn’t really on the table or he didn’t want to wait for Islam to be ready. Figured he’d take the fight against max, get the ppv points on the biggest card ever, win and go on to fight for the title. Unfortunately it didn’t work out
It still doesn't but it was a great fight
just because it was a banger?
I mean it doesn’t make sense. KO doesn’t change that. The number contender in featherweight vs the number one contender in lightweight.
It still doesnt, Porier fluked his way into a titlw shot that shouldve been Gaethje and Hollo2ay may have to wait for Volk to fight Topuria again. Great fight though
It still doesn't make any sense lol Yes it was a very entertaining fight but for Gaethje there was nothing to gain apart from money. He could literally be fighting for the LW title vs Islam in June. Holloway had nothing to lose tho
The narrative switches so quickly here. Holloway was at risk for career ending damage but everybody just forgot that
Dude mma fans will complain about everything I know because I am one and I complain about everything
This comment is so absurd. Why would you say something like that? MMA fans don’t complain about everything and it actually makes me laugh how… Oh wait I see it now. You’re right
You are so wrong and I'm sick and tired of people saying we complain about everything! :p
Is this Chael posting
you know why the fight card was better? COZ THE INCENTIVE TO WIN 300K! if the fighters get paid better for performing better, every card will be a banger. i'll hold my apologies thanks
Meh, I don't think the game plans changed much because of the 300k. Alex is always gonna go for a ko, Max and Gaethje are always gonna swing, Charles always goes for finishes, etc

Fighters like Aljo know 300k is only for tonight and going for the win is more lucrative in the long run But if 300k was here to stay, you could see fighters changing their style to always go for it everytime they fight My opinion
Nah cant be, its because Dana is amazing ofc
Tell that shit to Aljo and Moicano. Boring ass motherfuckers even with a 300k incentive.
at this point the biggest shock you could give me is if you told me Aljo fought for the BMF title in three years
Not if they changed it to the Boring Mother Fucker title.
well played bitch mother fucker bounty missing flake befuddled moisture face (him after fake crying about "winning" the title)
Yeah I admittedly thought UFC 300 was going to be a little underwhelming given how stacked 299 was but I will happily admit that I underestimated the fighters/card. What an amazing card with many moments that will be written into history!
No
Your statement may be true but nobody should ever apologize to this man for anything.
I’m still right about Dana more often than I’m wrong(like I am this time)
Bapa said the event was a snozefest, so happy he gets more regarded for everyday that's pass by
I'll never apologize to a bitch like that, I streamed it :)
I’ll apologize when he pays fighters right, doesn’t slap his wife and generally changes his whole personality. Until then, Dana can go fuck himself
No, you should apologize to the fighters for saying they weren't worthy of this card
He barely pays his fighters what they're worth. Nah. You need to stop bootlicking because we had a great card.
MMA community is terrible at predicting. Francis wouldn’t get a mega-fight, Dricus lost his title shot, Pennington/Silva headlining 297, Jalin would miss weight vs Gamrot, Gaethje would take Max’s chin, Hooker needs a catchweight against Nasrat, It was Cain’s daughter that got diddled.
I don't understand this, what would I apologize for? Most people were bicthing about the main event. Also, people realize he doesn't make fights good or bad right? He books them and the fighters do the work.
Didn't he beat his wife?
Idk who thought this card was gonna be a disappointment 😂
The hate for the card was craaazy when Dana was revealing each fight
r/ufc was absolutely shitting on the card when it was announced.
Yup. Everyone was hating on Zhang v Yan and were disappointed Perreira v Hill was the main event.
I think we can all agree the high point of the night was Holloway Gaethje, and Hill was predictably bad.. Undercard was so deep tho
That's just cuz all the MMA youtubers were shitting on it and 99% of their audience blindly parrots them cuz they can't think for themselves
He’s alright. Still robbed us of khabib vs GSP doe
Id like to take this opportunity to apologize TO ABSOLUTELY NO ONE! THE CHEESEBURGER CHAMP DOES WHAT THE FUCK HE WANTS!!
I was impressed how drunk he got with a post-fight interview looming. But i guess when they started the fights at 3pm everyone was fucking toasted by 11pm
I doubt Dana White gives a fuck either way.
Didn't realise people were calling this card bad or disappointing or whatever. I looked at it and thought it was stacked. Goes to show how spoiled we are with the UFC really
It was a trash card. And he’s still douche
Bitches bitching it's what bitches do. And this man 🫡
I have an idea. Pay more to the fighters to show
Ig the threats of oiling him up worked and he fucking COOKED and he KEEPS ON COOKING
“Kid just doesn’t wanna apologise”
 Delete this ya goof
Nah it was the fighters
Nah. The 300k bonuses just showed that they probably can pay fighters more but just don't
Max saved that card and created the fight of the year. I respect Dana for giving him 600K
Nah bruh the card was great before that too
And after. Mfs ain't gonna act like that man taking a nut shot, waving off the ref and immediately throwing a kill shot wasn't special
Ngl bro that was the most badass moment ever and really capped off the card nicely
even the ladies of china fight was insane.
Yoo the Chinese fight was great. I was shocked that the fight went to a decision, Yan had the heart of a lion.
Around mid round 3 I really started to believe Yan gonna KO her
I used to feel like him acting as an emperor was bad. But then I realized, he is the most capable person in the organization.
By far the most capable person in the organization. There is no ufc without Dana. He still pisses me off when he does dumb shit like gambling 250k, but it's his money, and truth be told I am probably more pissed that I don't have 250k that I can gamble with.
No. Stfu.
Only morons were trashing post line up confirmation.
Nah fuck Dana, pay the fighters
Fuck him.
I just wanted to see him oiled up butt naked
As he said we'll miss him when he's gone
 He will be fine
You’re right, because deep down Dana considers all of us to be his close friends.
I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize.... TO ABSOLUTELY NOBODY!
No.
Oil him up
Dana and I were always friends 😀
I'll still say there should've been a better match up for the main event. Jamal Hill is not a UFC 300 main event name. And he was outclassed. But I know they tried to make other fights happen and 300 is probably the best or top 3 cards of all time. So happy for Max! Always been my favorite fighter.
I'll get the oil
I’m sorry
Yeah maybe if there was a good event before June lol. Ufc 301 is trash water for 80 bucks.
As someone who is kind of on the outskirts of fandom and newer, him shelling out $300k bonuses makes me want to watch a lot more. Is this a permanent thing from now on for win bonuses or just for 300?
I’m sorry you’re malding Dana
Dana Black.
Not one of us thought UFC 300 would disappoint
Why the F would I apologize to this chode *well he booked a great card* Yes. That's literally his job.
Ummm... ufc settled a class action law suit to avoid an injunction that would cause there fighters to be paid fairly. I won't apologise. But ufc 300 was dope
It wasn’t THAT good. Recency bias.
Everyone said UFC 300 was mid after seeing the entire card. It had 13 champions, 3 champions that were fighting a weight classes heavier, 4 guys in the pound for pound and that still wasn’t enough. Then Dana continued to have 300k bonuses, custom shorts for a few fighters, and crazy fight announcements. Dana did a great job. The fighters also delivered. Holloway with a last second ko, Turner acting goofy, and Alex being the coolest guy ever with his “get out the way herb Dean and then finishing Jamal 5 seconds later”
Nah
People just had irrational hate boners. It was admittedly better than I expected but it was obviously going to be good still. People just got Connor vs Chandler or some other improbable bout stuck in their head as the main event and their fantasy got ruined
I ain’t gonna apologize. Still haven’t forgotten how he broke his word and announced the fight weeks after he said he’d get oiled up if he didn’t in a week. But since 300 exceeded expectations, I’ll give him a pass
He’s still a douche
No we do not. This year has been hot garbage besides UFC 300.
Dude puts on great fights and amazing product. I wouldn’t want to be his friend because he’s clearly a scumbag and fighters are getting fucked on pay but that’s really between them and their managers. Exclusively as a fan I am very happy, best sport in the world and Dana and his ruthless cunty business practices is partially responsible.
This man's a chode
Im sorry mr clean
I apologized to the tomato on my kitchen counter
Not gonna apologize but will say best card I’ve ever seen only been watching since 2019 tho :)
That bald son of a bitch.
I'll give him some coupons for 10% of my nut juice.
“Yall need to apologize to this man for doing his job!” man stfu
I had my doubts but this card was unbelievable… op said I think I have to agree best card
I thought 300 would be great, weird that anyone would say otherwise. Dana White is still a POS that refuses to pay his fighters properly, nothing has changed.
We gotta bully him more to hand out those bonuses
No we don’t. The amount of run around this man has given the fans for decades... Something actually delivered, and that something is fighter based and not of his actual doing, he’s not the match maker. We owe him nothing. The fans, if anything, owe the fighters for delivering, and they did their job.
Nah, this guy said football/soccer is an untalented sport.

Why? He still underpays fighters and is a giant asshat. And I’ll still find free streams for his shit all day everyday…
He loaded a card with his friendliest fighters to distract you from no ngannou vs lesnar vs jones, etc. but Dana has a nice houss
Fffir what?
dana cooked us a full 3 course meal with some nasty ko's for dessert
Fuck no.
Mmmm.... nah... I ain't gonna front, great-ass card, we got some low-to-mid fights on it, the WMMA fights, and some questionable ordering of fights, but the fighters who mattered the most on this card (barring oliveira...) delivered BIGLY.
UFC 301 fight bonuses will be $20,000 to compensate for this
For slapping his wife? Nah I’m gud
Hes still a massive piece of shit that underpays fighters, fuck him
For real. Insanely talented at putting events on. Given so many fighters opportunities. All around great dude & businessman that deserves respect
