Fans are convinced that Conor McGregor is set for a shock comeback at UFC 300 after Dana White accidentially leaked the fight order for the landmark event.
The hotly anticipated night of action is set to take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on April 13, with fans desparate to know who will be fighting in the headline bout.
White has already revealed some mouthwatering clashes on the main card, with Justin Gaethje set to take on Max Holloway for the BMF title.
Meanwhile, Zhang Weili and Yan Xiaonan will also go head-to-head in a collossal matchup that will see two chinese fighters challenge for a UFC world title for the first time in history.
Yet fans have been left guessing over who will meet in the main event, with McGregor teasing a potential return to the Octagon at UFC 300 earlier this week.
Dana White appears to have accidentially leaked the running order for UFC 300 which will take place on April 13
Fans are convinced that Conor McGregor will make his comeback at the landmark event
White, menawhile, has now seemingly leaked the fight order for UFC 300, after posting a joint video on Instagram in collaboration with digital creator Nina Marie Daniele.
In the video the UFC President was seen appearing to walk into his office before he was given a bottle of oil.
White was then provided with a bizarre ultimatum with Daniele captioning the video: ‘Dana White said if this video gets 10,000 comments he will announce UFC 300 main event this week, or we get to oil him up!’
The 54-year-old was then seen in another room, sitting down infront of a board that appeared to have the running order for UFC 300 on it.
While that order could still change, it appears White has already got a line up in mind for the evening, but was not giving anything away about the headline fight, with the words ‘TBD’ being written at the top of the list.
McGregor, meanwhile, hasn’t fought in the UFC since 2021 after he suffered a horrific broken leg during the opening round of his rematch against Dustin Poirer, but he recently asserted his interest in fighting at the event.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) the Irishman said: ‘McGregor on 300 seals the deal.’
And many fans have been left convinced that White is set to announce that the Irishman will compete in the main event, with some claiming he could take on Michael Chandler.
‘Conor v Chandler at the top makes sense,’ one wrote on X, while another wrote: ‘It’s obvious that McGregor-Chandler is the main event. Should be announced soon.’
‘I think it’s gotta be Conor vs a big name to headline UFC 300, with the way Dana has been hyping up the main event,’ another wrote.

The two UFC stars traded verbal blows on social media, as they teased a potential match-up
With the main event still to be announced, White showed his predcited line up for UFC 300, with Jessica Andrade set to go up against her Brazil compatriot Marina Rodriguez in one of the first fights of the the event.
Bo Nickal’s middleweight bout against Cody Brundage is next on the board, followed by Calvin Kattar vs Aljamain Sterling. Holly Holm’s name comes next as she goes up against Kayla Harrison in their bantamweight clash, before White seems to have placed Czech fighter Jiri Prochazka’s fight against Serbian Aleksandar Rakic afterwards.
Charles Oliveira will return to the Octagon for the first time since claiming victory against Beneil Dariush back in June with the former UFC lightweight champion set to go up against Arman Tsarukyan next. White, meanwhile, has placed Weili’s clash against Xiaonan above them, with Gaethje vs Holloway coming just before the main event.
While the announcement of the main event could now be set to come in the next week, it still remains a mystery on who could be fighting in the headline match at UFC 300.

While an announcement on the headline bout could come this week, White added that fans ‘can’t handle the main event’
White previously hinted on Instagram Live that he was ‘playing’ with a couple of options for who could fight in the main event.
‘When will you get the main event?’ White said, reading a comment.
‘You guys can’t handle the main event. We’re working on a couple of different options. Trust me, the UFC 300 main event is going to be crazy.
‘We have a couple of options for the main event. I’m still playing with it. When it’s time, I will give it to you.’
