As Dana White and the rest of the UFC community get set for Saturday night’s UFC 300, they are already announcing some major milestones. White said the event is now projected to eclipse the 1 million pay-per-view number, which according to Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern would be the first time that has happened since before the pandemic.
White also said the expected gate for the event is $16.5 million, which would make it the third highest in UFC history and the highest for any card that does not include Connor McGregor.
UFC 300 will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. ESPN+ or Disney bundle subscribers are eligible to purchase the event which is $69.99 up until the event starts and then moves to $79.99
“For 300, we’re building the greatest card ever assembled,” UFC CEO Dana White told Jim Rome. “Every one of th fights on this card could be a main event on a Fight Night or a pay-per-view.”
The featured match on the card has UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Alex Pereira fighting former champion Jamahal Hill.
