Three fights are official for the eagerly-anticipated Sin City extravaganza, which is expected to feature a total of 15 bouts.
But UFC president and Chief Executive White has revealed that will change come the end of the week.
During an Instagram live, he said: “I got more 300 fights coming out this week.
“I’ll let you guys know as soon as they’re done.
“I’m in Abu Dhabi for a couple of days getting some stuff done here. Then I’m shooting over to the Maldives for a little bit and then I’m heading back to Vegas.”
White’s teasing of imminent UFC 300 fight news came after he revealed he’s back in talks with Conor McGregor over his long-awaited octagon return.
He revealed on Wednesday night: “We talked tonight. I’m in Abu Dhabi, he’s in Dubai.
“We’re gonna figure something out. We’re talking.”

White’s comments were in response to a blistering rant from The Notorious, in which he suggested the promotion are slow-rolling his return and accused them of mistreatment.
He told talkSPORT: “The lads in the UFC aren’t really talking, but the lads here [in Saudi Arabia] are talking Manny [Pacquiao].
“Give me something. I was supposed to be back in April, I was supposed to be back in December.”
“No one has ever been treated [the way I’m getting treated].
“For all the figures I’ve brought in this game, I sell more than all of them combined.
“I sell more than every one of them combined.
“No one in the history of the fight game has ever been treated the way I’ve been getting treated at the minute.
“From what I came to what I bring. They should open the f***ing floodgates for me.”
