It is not the first time UFC fans are parading for a special promo ahead of a UFC event. White was asked a similar question during the UFC 298 press conference: if the UFC plans to make a promo on the lines of UFC 200 and UFC 189 for the much-awaited UFC 300, here’s what he had to say.
“Now, I have to, now that you said it, I guess, I have to figure something out.”
Boxing has been doing a great job recently with their promotions, specifically their trailers for the fight. Not long ago, DAZN released the promo for the Day of the Reckoning event which took place in December last year, which earned huge praise from fans. The zombie-themed trailer featured the likes of Anthony Joshua, Joseph Parker, Deontay Wilder, and Dmitry Bivol among others.
