Where is UFC 300 going to be?

UFC 290 may have just concluded, but the promotion's third centennial event is only ten numbers away.

While no date has been announced for UFC 300, July 2024 on International Fight Week is the likeliest, given that UFC 100 in 2009 and UFC 200 in 2016 also occurred in July.

And while no venue has been announced so far, it is certain to be held in Las Vegas. UFC 100 was held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, while UFC 200 was the first MMA event held at the then-new T-Mobile Arena.

In March 2017, ahead of UFC 209, T-Mobile Arena reached an agreement to hold at least four UFC events, making the leading MMA promotion one of its first anchor tenants besides the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights. Since the deal was struck, 21 events have been held there, with a further two more planned this year.

Could the UFC be targeting a stadium show for UFC 300?

But for a card as historic as UFC 300, Dana White might be looking at an even bigger venue - that is, a stadium show. And luckily for him, there is one place that fits the promotion's needs.

There have been only five stadium shows in UFC history - all but one of them being PPV's, and none of them in the United States. However, there are many covered stadiums in the country that can host such an event, like AT&T Stadium in the Dallas area, which the UFC once sought for a 2015 fall card.

But for the sake of convenience, Allegiant Stadium, the 65,000-seat home field of the NFL's Raiders, is the frontrunner to land the event. Conor McGregor, pending his USADA situation, is a favorite to be the headlining act there, but so much can change between now and July 2024.

For instance, Bo Nickal, one of the winners last weekend, has openly spoken about fighting Khamzat Chimaev at Allegiant Stadium. Given his current career trajectory, it is highly unlikely to happen; however, stranger things have happened that dramatically shook up big cards.

Either way, UFC 300 is shaping up to be a big card, and it may warrant a bigger place.
