Wrong entries on Wikipedia has left many readers confused. A similar incident occured when someone edited the main event of UFC 298 on Wikipedia, and when it got former UFC fighter Dan Hardy’s attention, he couldn’t believe what he was reading.
UFC 298 goes down this weekend in Anaheim, California and will feature Alexander Volkanovski back in the featherweight division to defend his 145-pound gold against Ilia Topuria. However, at the time of writing, the Wikipedia entry states that the fight has been called off, and instead, Max Holloway vs Ilia Topuria is the new UFC 298 main event for the interim gold.
Dan Hardy left confused after fan edits UFC 298 Wikipedia entry
A confused Dan Hardy tweeted a screenshot of the edited UFC 298 fight card that showed Max Holloway and Ilia Topuria in the main event. The query invited hilarious reactions from fans who couldn’t hold their laughter at this entire incident.
“I hope someone was just messing with the UFC Wikipedia.” Dan Hardy tweeted.

Max Holloway will return to take on Justin Gaethje next in the lightweight division for the symbolic BMF title at UFC 300. To add fuel to fire, one fan also pointed out how UFC 300 has listed Holloway vs Gaethje as “cancelled.”

Needless to say, Alexander Volkanovski vs Ilia Topuria is still official and neither has there been any reports of Holloway vs Gaethje getting cancelled.

UFC 298 will also feature some other exciting bouts, including the return of Robert Whittaker against Paulo Costa in the co-main event. Henry Cejudo will make his walk to the Octagon once again as he takes on Merab Dvalishvili in quite possibly his last attempt to book a direct title shot. Also on the main card is Ireland’s Ian Garry, who will take on Geoff Neal.
UFC 298 promises to be an action packed night. Will we see a new champion crowned in Anaheim this weekend? Do let us know in the comments section.
