100 had names we recognize in retrospect on the prelims, but at the time they weren't big names. Jones was a couple fights into his UFC career and fought a guy who would get cut immediately afterwards. The Dong, Tom Lawlor, TJ Grant, Jim Miller were all only a few fights into their UFC careers and not any more notable than your average prelim fighter of today. The only notable fight on the prelims was Coleman vs Bonnar, an out of prime 44 year old vs a TUF prospect coming off a loss.200 made me a little sad tbh... An entire card full of pointless fights.
300 has potential, but its not much better (yet) in terms of star power... Ronda, Conrad, Khabib, Brock, GSP - at least 2 of them...
100 was one of the GOAT events... People still talk about things that happened on that card every day... They hit the combo of grudge-matches, elite competition, and star power absolutely on the head, and it was spectacular..

Haters will call this a weak card... The first 2 main card fights were a mistake, but somehow they added to the anticipation... GSP hit Alves with his groin, and so on...
Not sure what my point is, really... 200 had more star power, but wasn't as good as 100, I guess.
100 led with 3 amazing fights, everything else was filler.
