UFC is a sport that many people from around the world watch and support. UFC 300 is about to be the biggest main event of the century. Fans have been waiting since December when Dana White ( owner of UFC) announced the first card. Fans have been wanting to see Pereira vs Hill since Pereira TKO’ed Jiri Prochazka. In an interview (Dave Blakamoto) Hill said “I will not use my wrestling skill, I want to knock him out” which got everyone excited to see if he can accomplish that against a knockout specialist like Pereira.
The first fight on the main card will be one hell of a fight between Max Holloway and Justin Gaethje. This isn’t just a regular fight, this fight will determine if Max takes the BMF title or if Gaethje can defend it. Gaethje beat Dustin Poirier, an American professional mixed martial artist who was previously the Interim UFC Lightweight Champion to obtain the title. Gaethje is 25-4 and Max is 25-7. One more thing to mention Max has never been TKO or knocked down in his whole career will Gaethje be able to change that?
The next main card title fight is Weili Zhang vs Yan Xiaonan. Weili Zhang is a Chinese professional mixed martial artist. Her record in the UFC is 24-3 11 TKO’s has been TKO’ed 1 time and has 8 wins by sub. She has won 4 title fights while being the women’s Strawweight division Championship and has lost 2. Her opponent is Yan Xiaonan. Yan has never been a UFC champion and this is her first title fight against one of the best in the division. Yan is 17-3, she has 8 TKO’s and has been TKO’ed 1 time and has been subbed one time. Yan is looking to put her name down in UFC history with this fight and become the UFC strawweight champion.
For the main event of the night Alex Pereira vs Jamahal Hill. Alex Pereira who is a Brazilian professional mixed martial artist and former kickboxer. His record when he was a kickboxer is 33 wins (21 KOs), 7 losses (2 KOs). His UFC record is 7-2. With a record of 7-2 he is also a double champion of the middleweight division and the light heavyweight division despite being in the UFC for such a short time. At UFC 300 he will be facing Jamahal Hill, the former UFC light heavyweight champion who lost his title due to an injury. Jamahal Hill has been training to overcome his injury and get his title back for the unfair loss of it.
I’m so hype for this main event because I know we all have been waiting to see if Jamahal can take his title back or was it just all talk? I would love to see Pereria win this fight and go up to heavyweight and fight the undefeated heavyweight champion Jon Bone Jones when he retires. To be honest I believe he might actually be able to do it and overcome everyone’s expectations. This is why we all love this sport so much, one shot could change the whole fight and we all know Pereira is good for that. I expect Holloway and Zhang to come out on top also.
