Alex Pereira will put the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship crown on the line when he squares off with Jamahal Hill atop a milestone match card this April at UFC 300, with all of the action set to unfold from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.
The duo will top the bill when they square off in the desert, with a UFC Women's Strawweight Championship contest between Zhang Weili and Yan Xiaonan among the key attractions as the famed promotion brings up a major number in the history of its flagship events.
In a recent YouTube video, Hill commented on fans' disappointment about Pereira vs. Hill being named as the main card for UFC 300: "Y’all could have got Mario vs. King Kong, y’all could have got Wolverine vs. Iron Man, you could have gotten anything—Hulk vs. Superman, Spider-Man vs. Batman, you could have got any of this—and you wouldn’t have been happy.”
They will not be the only stars on the docket for the fans who make the trip to Sin City. Justin Gaethje is set to put his symbolic BMF crown on the line against former featherweight champion Max Holloway in a lightweight bout as another major attraction for long-time fans.
Plus, recently, the UFC revealed brand new, customised kits for UFC 300 for the biggest fighters on the night, including Alex Pereira and Zhang Weili.
The two championship matches will lead a bumper schedule as the company kicks off a celebration of its history in style. Plenty more action is set to take place on the day, too.
