But following Nevada judge Richard Boulware’s rejection of a proposed $335 million settlement, White is suggesting the judge may hold a grudge against him that dates back to 1986.

Dana White predicts that UFC 306 could break the previous gate records, as it is one of the most hyped events in UFC.

Now that UFC 306, also known as UFC Noche, is set to take place on Mexican Independence Day, there’s a chance White’s prediction might come true. Let’s review the past gate records and see if this event could break them.

Mackenzie Dern entered her main card Strawweight battle versus Loopy Godinez in pretty dire straights. Though ranked at No. 7 in the world, Dern’s last two performances weren’t great. Jessica Andrade knocked her out badly towards the end of 2013, then earlier this year, Amanda Lemos scored a ton of punishing shots en route to a dominant decision win. Worse than the outcomes themselves, Dern appeared to be regressing, which happens when you suddenly stop working with your acclaimed boxing coach.

It’s really not hard to understand why some fight fans are excited about Shara Magomedov. First and foremost, his name ends in “Ov.” If you haven’t noticed, Dagestani fighters have been running the board for a while now, and bettors have picked up on the trend. Add in a unique look and undefeated record, and baby, you’ve got a bonafide hype train picking up steam. Three fights into his UFC career, Magomedov believers are justified so far, as he’s largely trounced a trio of reasonably solid opponents.
