The highly anticipated UFC 300 event has come and gone, leaving fans buzzing with excitement over the weigh-in results. Among the top picks to consider on the main card are Max Holloway and Alex Pereira, both of whom have proven themselves to be formidable opponents in the octagon.
Max Holloway, known for his impressive striking and relentless pace, is coming off a dominant win in his last fight and is looking to continue his winning streak. Alex Pereira, a former kickboxing champion turned MMA fighter, has been making waves with his knockout power and technical skills.
UFC returns to T-Mobile Arena for one of the biggest events in combat sports history, headlined by a light heavyweight championship bout that will see Alex Pereira go for his first title defense against former titleholder and No. 1 ranked contender Jamahal Hill. UFC strawweight champion Zhang Weili defends against No. 1 contender Yan Xiaonan in the first ever all-Chinese UFC title bout. Also, Justin Gaethje puts his BMF belt on the line against former featherweight champion Max Holloway in a highly anticipated Fight of the Year candidate.
The headline act will be contested in the light heavyweight division—once the UFC's "glamor division"—as champion Alex Pereira attempts to defend his title against former champ Jamahal Hill.
There will also be an undisputed title up for grabs in the co-main event, as strawweight champion Zhang Weili defends her belt against challenger Yan Xiaonan. It's the first all-China title fight in UFC history, and one that could go either way.
The two fighters, both early in their respective careers, chatted for a while during the drive, which extended to Gaethje being almost the team's unofficial chauffeur for a few days.
"He had everything in his car, he had his dog," Holloway told ESPN. "And he was just talking about how he wanted to make it [to the UFC]. He wanted to make it there. He's not going to stop."
With each fighter successfully making weight, the stage is set for an epic night of fights at UFC 300. The weigh-in results serve as a preview of what's to come, building anticipation and excitement for fans around the globe. As fight night approaches, all eyes will be on these warriors as they step into battle and strive for victory in this historic event.
