UFC 300‘s first official fights include Aljamain Sterling‘s featherweight debut against Calvin Kattar, Jiri Prochazka‘s match with Aleksandar Rakic, and Bo Nickal‘s return against Cody Brundage, with the event set to take place on April 13.
Alright, here’s the latest scoop. UFC 300 is shaping up, folks. Dana White, the big boss, has just dropped some fight announcements. This historic event is all set for April 13.
Now, let’s talk about the fighters. Aljamain Sterling, the ex-bantamweight champ, is making a move. He’s stepping into the featherweight ring for the first time. And he’s going head-to-head with Calvin Kattar.
But wait, there’s more. Jiri Prochazka is also making a comeback. Remember him? He took a tumble in the vacant 205-pound title fight last November. Now, he’s squaring off with Aleksandar Rakic.
And then there’s Bo Nickal. This middleweight prospect has been MIA for a while. But he’s back, baby! He’s set to face Cody Brundage at UFC 300.
Now, hold your horses. The main event hasn’t been announced yet. But Dana White’s probably got more matchups up his sleeve. We might even see some title bouts. So, stay tuned, folks!
Back to Sterling. He’s moving up to 145 pounds. This is after he lost his bantamweight title to Sean O’Malley last August. He’s been hinting at a move to featherweight for a while. Now, it’s official. And he’s got a tough first fight against Kattar in April.
Speaking of Kattar, he’s had a rough patch. He’s 1-3 in his last four fights. He even lost to Arnold Allen last October due to a torn ACL. But he’s back and ready to welcome Sterling to the featherweight division.
Meanwhile, Prochazka is looking for redemption. He was knocked out by Alex Pereira in his last fight. Before that, he was undefeated in the UFC. He’s had wins over Glover Teixeira, Dominick Reyes, and Volkan Oezdemir.
Rakic is also making a comeback. He lost to Jan Blachowicz last May due to an injury. He was supposed to rematch Blachowicz in January. But Blachowicz had a shoulder injury and had to bow out. Now, Rakic is set to fight Prochazka at UFC 300.
Finally, let’s talk about Nickal. This three-time NCAA champ is still undefeated. He’s up against Brundage, who recently knocked out Zachary Reese. Nickal’s got a perfect 2-0 record in the UFC. He’s looking to make it 3-0 in April.
So, there you have it. UFC 300 is shaping up to be one heck of a show. Can’t wait to see how it all unfolds!
