Ariel Helwani, a well-known insider and journalist, claims that UFC bosses have a trump card hidden for the promotion's 300th anniversary tournament.
“They have a rabbit in a hat and they’re working on it. This is not the main fight of the evening. But they are trying to make this event as special as possible, I know that. But there’s nothing more special to me than Conor coming back. It will be almost three years since his last fight. It could have been done right there (at UFC 300) ... the fight was already ready ... it could have been announced here and now,” Helwani said.
