The UFC 300 main card, featuring six fights including Alex Pereira defending his light heavyweight title against Jamahal Hill, has been officially announced for April 13 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Well, it’s official. UFC 300’s main card is all set.
After months of rumors and announcements, we finally have the lineup. The pay-per-view portion of this historic event is gonna be a blast. The venue? T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The date? April 13.
Now, here’s something you don’t see every day. Six fights on the main card. And the last three? They’re all five-rounders. Yep, you heard it right.
The main event? Alex Pereira defending his light heavyweight title. He’s up against former champ Jamahal Hill. Dana White, the UFC CEO, dropped this bombshell right after UFC 298 wrapped up.
And the co-main event? It’s a strawweight title showdown. Reigning champ Zhang Weili is squaring off against Yan Xiaonan.
But wait, there’s more. The third five-rounder is the “BMF” title bout. Justin Gaethje and former featherweight champ Max Holloway are gonna duke it out. Talk about a match to look forward to!
And let’s not forget the lightweight division. Former champ Charles Oliveira is going toe-to-toe with Armen Tsarukyan. The winner gets a shot at the title against champ Islam Makhachev later this year.
Another ex-light heavyweight champ, Jiri Prochazka, is also on the card. He’s looking to bounce back from a loss against Aleksandr Rakic on April 13.
And the opening bout? It’s Aljamain Sterling, the ex-bantamweight champ, making his featherweight debut against Calvin Kattar.
So, that’s the UFC 300 main card. Six fights in total. Dana White hinted at another bout, but no details yet. And the rest of the lineup? It’ll be confirmed later. But White did mention a bantamweight fight between Cody Garbrandt and Deiveson Figueiredo to kick things off.
