Didn't Justin just knock Poirier out in their last fight lol. And I didn't even think Diaz was in the UFC anymore

Maybe they could dig up Nick's corpse and hope the casuals don't notice it's the wrong brother

Potential matchups

Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 610 Points   |   Tied for 1793rd

Here's some of the remaining matchups i'm predicting will be on the card. This is taking into consideration Jon Jones being out for injury and Conor not being back until July as his coaches are saying. 

Islam vs Justin headlining 
Alexa Grasso vs Weili Zhang for 125lb belt 
Leon Edwards vs Belal Muhamood, though I can see them making this the main for the UK card 
Tom Aspinall vs Cyril Gane, might also go on the UK card 
Olives vs Arman Tsaryukan (it should be Dustin, but he's too soy to fight up and comers)
BSD vs Pfiziev
Pimblett vs Hooker
Kara France vs Kape

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 0 Perfect, 410 Points   |   Tied for 6827th

Procházka vs. Rakić
Aleksandar Rakić, TKO, R2
I think Jiri is coming back too soon, but he's a wild man - which is also why he could just win this fight in the first round. But I think Rakic will fight more controlled, he will weather the storm and get him with a head kick. Jiri's hands are waaaayy too low imo

Kattar vs. Sterling
Calvin Kattar, TKO, R2
Aljo's sudden move to FW confuses me. It's not that I don't think he can be successful in the division, I just think he's moving up too quickly. I think he will struggle to utilize his wrestling against Kattar due to the size and strength difference, and then I think the speed difference won't matter in the striking because I can see Kattar slipping Aljo's strikes and hit him with way harder shots on the counter, so kinda what O'Malley did to him, just with way more power. I think Aljo would have more success if he took like a year to get his body right for the division and then dive in. I also think starting against ranked guys might hurt him, I like the path RDA took where he started from unranked to interim title shot in the WW division. Anyways I think this will turn out to be a bad move by Aljo, I think he's going to get hurt bad.

I'm sorry, but Bo Nickal vs. Cody Brundage is such an absurdly mid-fight for an 'event' like UFC 300. IF you're gonna be set on featuring Nickal on this card, OK. But this is the type of card where you give him someone good or someone with name value. Or better yet, someone who encompasses both those things.Not Cody ******* Brundage. Seriously a pathetic fight for what should be a monumental fight card. 

At UFC 200 they had 'prospects' like Thiago Santos and Julianna Pena on the card. But they put them in fights with good fighters who people knew. Gegard Mousasi & Cat Zingano. This **** is just lazy.

People complain about bo not getting a push but he’s so green, they’re building him the right way. Everyone *****ed and moaned about Suga sean being a can crusher, and look where he’s at; he’s the champ now. These things take time but the ufc kniws how to build fighters. When bo is eventually ready, im sure he will be beating quality fighters with ease

Don’t think the UFC should let Aspinal defend his Interim belt, Either make Jones vs Aspinal or strip Jones and give Aspinal the belt. No one should be able to duck the interim champ. 

It really ******** if they make Jones vs Stipe now, the only person who want that fight is Jon, people want Aspinal vs Jones

is there any real traction for that Chael theory that Max might fight Justin for that Micky Mouse belt? obviously it makes almost no sense from Justin's part but if Charles ends up being next for the title is he going to sit out a year again? he had one fight in '21, one fight in '22., Islam won't fight before March or April...

can't agree with that... think the vast majority of us here would agree that it's a ******** PR stunt and anyone that actually follows the sport knows it means absolutely nothing...I mean if Justin would get some additional money for it, god bless but even discussing the legitimacy of it is absurd so....

but you said 0 purpose and that's where I disagree... my hate towards that corporate BS aside are you really telling me that there are not countless random people that wouldn't be sold on the fact that this is for the ''bmf''? you might as well be giving out sash to fighters.... honestly, how many of us care about Jones Miocic fight? you're not beating the greatest heavyweight, you're beating a 42 years old firefighter from Euclid.... but that sounds less sexy... who the hell can doubt that Justin and Max are some of the baddest MFs ever but are you really telling me that there wouldn't be a significant number of bros who would turn up for that not because of Max or Justin but because of that Micky Mouse belt and promo?

the idea of a PFP belt is so interesting tho but wouldn’t make sense to see a flyweight vs a heavyweight like old ufc times but still BMF belt across featherweight to welterweight is awesome to think about if they’d defend it normally and add significance to it

It reminds me of a Video Game Developer just adding unnecessary updates to their game but they don't know what to add/update, but they still want to "update" it just for the sake of it and it's f*cking up their piece of work. There should only be a single championship in every weight class, that's it. No interim's and definetly no imaginary belts like "BMF". Fans themselves can decide who's the BMF, whatever is it Gaethje, Holloway, Diaz, Masvidal etc... But to make a belt for this? Ridicilous.
