UFC 300: BET ON FAVBET
vRINGe preview: A show that cannot be forgotten. UFC 300: Pereira – Hill, Gaethje – Holloway, Oliveira – Tsarukyan, Prochazka – Rakic
UFC 300 Results
The main event of the show is the fight of the current champion of the light heavyweight division from Brazil, Alex Pereira, against the former title holder from the USA, Jamal Hill. For Pereira, this is the first defense of the title, which he won in November last year, stopping another ex-champion Jiri Prochazka in the 2nd round.
The co-main event is another title fight between China’s Weili Zhang (champion) and Yan Xiaonan (challenger). The first purely Chinese confrontation in the history of the promotion with a championship belt at stake.
In the lightweight division, two-time challenger from the United States Justin Gaethje will defend the so-called. belt of the organization’s “toughest bastard,” which he won last July by knocking out Dustin Poirier in a rematch. At UFC 300, Justin’s opponent will be ex-champion of the featherweight division, compatriot Max Holloway.
Maximum bets for another pair of lightweights: ex-champion from Brazil Charles Oliveira and Russian of Armenian origin Arman Tsarukyan will determine who will remain in the title race.
The main card will open with the fight of top middleweight prospect American Bo Nickal against compatriot Cody Brundage.
A lot of interesting things are expected in the preliminary card. In particular, former light heavyweight champion Czech Jiri Prochazka will meet with Austrian representative Alexander Rakic, and former bantamweight champion American Aljamain Sterling will make his debut in the featherweight category against compatriot Calvin Kattar.
