UFC 300: Conor McGregor & Michael Chandler Drop Massive Tease
With UFC 300’s recent announcements, the April 13 event scheduled for the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nev., now has 11 fights officially on the books.
The 12th, however, is still in development, but thanks to tweets from UFC megastars Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler, its grand finale may be closer to getting finalized without any further delays.
Chandler quote-tweeted the UFC’s most updated card for UFC 300, which includes a star-studded lineup with Max Holloway, Justin Gaethje, Aljamain Sterling, Bo Nickal and Kayla Harrison included, to name a few.
The main event listing has “TBD vs. TBD” currently as a placeholder while the promotion puts everything in place. This allowed Chandler and McGregor, both of which coached opposite each other on TUF 31, to shoot their respective ‘X’-like shots.
“T B D…,” Chandler tweeted.
McGregor kept his short and sweet just before midnight ET Friday night.
“McGregor on 300 seals the deal,” the former UFC double champ wrote.
The pair were tabbed to compete against one another June 29, which is the UFC’s International Fight Week, according to a New Year’s Eve tweet from McGregor himself. The promotion has yet to formally comment on it, although UFC CEO Dana White did indicate last Saturday at the UFC 297 post-fight presser that McGregor’s next opponent would be announced when he was ready to do so.
At press time, UFC 300 is currently a trending topic with over 2,000 tweets across the ‘X’ platform, even without a UFC event to close out the month of January.
