What we know so far…

Unfortunately, a couple of stars that aren’t likely to make an appearance are Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey. When speaking to Sports Illustrated, Dana White stated they were “definitely not coming back for UFC 300.” Are we devastated? Yes, of course. Are we excited enough about Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill to get over it? You betcha.

The anticipated light heavyweight championship fight will see Pereira defend his title for the first time against No.1 ranked contender Jamahal Hill. Hill being a former title holder himself puts him in good stead and is sure to guarantee one hell of a fight!

Pereira snatched the title with a terrific knockout of Prochazka back during UFC 295. However, if you ask Prochazka himself, he feels that Jamahal Hill may be able to take the lead. While speaking to Sportskeeda, Prochazka announced that there “are more weapons on Jamahal Hill’s side”. We guess only time will tell whether he’s right or not.

The second championship bout creates history at UFC, with the first ever all-chinese UFC title fight. Zhang Weili will defend against Yan Xiaonan for her strawweight title.

ESPN has Zhang ranked as the top women’s MMA fighter in the world, with Yan ranked as low as 7 (as if being 7th in the world is low!), it’s sure to be an interesting fight. This could be the fight to raise Xiaonan in the ranks. Or will Weili retain her title and her standing?

What about those UFC 300 odds then?

The second question on everyone’s lips after ‘who’s fighting?’ is usually ‘who’s going to win?’

We headed over to Bet365 to get an online betting site’s point of view on the main card…

• Pereira (4/6) vs Hill (5/4)
• Zhang (2/7) vs Yan (11/4)
• Gaethje (4/9) vs Holloway (15/8)
• Nickal (1/14) vs Brundage (8/1)
• Prochazka (11/10) vs Rakic (8/11)

It’s also looking likely that Dana White will have some surprises in store for us on the actual night. We’re already expecting a special canvas (similar to UFC 200 when the usual grey colour was switched to a jazzy gold).In the promo video for the event, the CEO stated that “UFC 300 is gonna be one of those events that people are never gonna forget”. With the line up that he has in store for us, we don’t doubt it!
