Description

UFC 300: Pereira vs. Hill is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on April 13, 2024, at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Area, United States.

Background

After hosting UFC 200 in 2016, T-Mobile Arena will host another milestone event, which will be its 28th UFC event overall.
A UFC Light Heavyweight Championship bout between current champion Alex Pereira (also former UFC Middleweight Champion and former Glory Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Champion) and former champion Jamahal Hill will headline the event. The fight was verbally agreed for UFC 301 three weeks later, but the promotion opted to book it at this card. Pereira won the vacant title at UFC 295 against former champion Jiří Procházka after Hill was forced to vacate it in July 2023 due to a ruptured Achilles tendon.

A UFC Women's Strawweight Championship bout between current two-time champion Zhang Weili and Yan Xiaonan is expected to take place at the event. It will mark the first time two Chinese-born athletes will meet for a title in the organization.

Former interim UFC Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje (also former WSOF Lightweight Champion) is expected to defend his symbolic "BMF" (baddest motherfucker) title against former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway in a lightweight bout. Gaethje won the symbolic title at UFC 291 defeating fellow former interim champion Dustin Poirier by second round knockout in what was their second meeting.

Former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan are scheduled to meet in a lightweight title eliminator bout.

Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jiří Procházka (also the inaugural Rizin Light Heavyweight Champion) and Aleksandar Rakić are expected to meet in a light heavyweight bout at the event.

Former UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling is expected to make his promotional debut at featherweight against Calvin Kattar.

A middleweight bout between three-time NCAA Division I National Wrestling Champion and undefeated prospect Bo Nickal and Cody Brundage is expected to take place at the event.

A bantamweight bout between former UFC Bantamweight Champion Cody Garbrandt and former two-time UFC Flyweight Champion Deiveson Figueiredo is expected to take place at the event. The pairing was previously scheduled to meet at UFC 255 in November 2020 for the flyweight title but Garbrandt withdrew due to a torn bicep.

2012 and 2016 Olympic gold medalist in judo (also two-time PFL women's lightweight tournament champion) Kayla Harrison is expected to make her promotional debut, as well as her bantamweight debut, against former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion (also International Boxing Hall of Famer) Holly Holm.

A featherweight bout between Sodiq Yusuff and Diego Lopes is expected to take place at the event.

Former UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Jéssica Andrade and Marina Rodriguez are expected to meet in a women's strawweight bout.

Jim Miller and Bobby Green are expected to meet in a lightweight bout at the event. Miller will become the only fighter to have competed at all three milestone events for the organization, previously competing at UFC 100 and UFC 200. The duo was previously booked thrice, but canceled all three times due to Green withdrawals: first at UFC 172 in April 2014, due to an elbow injury; the second booking at UFC 258 in February 2021, when he collapsed after the weigh-ins and was deemed unfit to compete; and the third time at UFC 276 in July 2022, when Green withdrew for unknown reasons.
