Following months of matchmaking, the UFC 300 card is now finalized, including the bout order for the pay-per-view main card and the prelims.
Before everything was settled, the promotion added one more matchup that was announced during UFC 299: Renato Moicano faces Jalin Turner in a lightweight bout that serves as the final fight booked for the historic event on April 13 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
UFC CEO Dana White said the bout order was only determined recently, with company settling on a lineup and sticking to it – at the risk of constant changes until the event took place.
The main event was already set in stone with Alex Pereira defending his light heavyweight title against Jamahal Hill in a five-round fight to cap off the night. The co-main event sees reigning UFC strawweight champion Zhang Weili clash with Yan Xiaonan.
Justin Gaethje puts his “BMF” title up for grabs against Max Holloway in another five-round fight on the UFC 300 main card. Highly touted middleweight prospect Bo Nickal also gets a slot on the main card for a fight with Cody Brundage.
Lightweights Charles Oliveira and Armen Tsarukyan kick off the main card when they meet in a fight that will likely determine the next title contender at 155 pounds.
All told, UFC 300 features 12 current or former champions, not to mention two-time Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison making her long awaited debut on the card as well.
