The landmark 300 event boasts a strong card top to bottom, with 12 current or former champions in action.

The UFC’s efforts in producing a star-studded show are synonymous with past centenary events, with WWE star Brock Lesnar fighting at both, while Conor McGregor and Jon Jones were also originally in contention to appear at 200 before their bouts were cancelled.

Headlining UFC 300 is a light-heavyweight title bout between Brazil’s champion Alex Pereira and American Jamahal Hill, who vacated the belt in July 2023 after rupturing an Achilles tendon.

The bout was finalised following weeks of negotiations between the UFC and various fighters which didn’t come to fruition, including Leon Edwards, Israel Adesanya and Dricus du Plessis.

The co-main event sees Zhang Weili defend her strawweight belt against compatriot Yan Xiaonan in the first all-Chinese Championship fight in UFC history.

Elsewhere, Justin Gaethje will defend the symbolic BMF title against fellow American Max Holloway in a lightweight contest.

The belt is awarded to the ‘baddest’ fighter in the UFC and has only been contested twice since its inauguration in 2019.

Double Olympic judo gold medallist Kayla Harrison is also making her UFC debut, taking on former champion Holly Holm in a bantamweight matchup.

American Harrison, who is a two-time PFL lightweight title holder, believes she can replicate her past success in her new home.

“I’ve always taken big risks in my career and this is the biggest. UFC 300 versus Holly Holm, a new weight class, new promotion, legend of the sport, I’m all in, I’m excited,” said the 33-year-old.

“The goal is not to be a star but to be UFC champion and be so good you can’t ignore me. And then to use this platform to change the world how I want to.

“I just want to be so good you guys have no choice but to call me ‘The Queen’.”
