The UFC 300 card is now set!
The event is expected to take place live at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main event will be Alex Pereira defending his UFC Light Heavyweight Title against Jamahal Hill.
Hill, who was forced to vacate the title due to rupturing his Achilles tendon, is back and is now determined to regain the title that he never really lost.
Pereira last picked up a win against JiÅ™í Procházka by knockout at UFC 295 in New York City.
The Main Card will also be headlined by a Women's Strawweight Champion fight, which would pit Zhang Weili to defend her title against Yan Xiaonan.
Weili recently won the belt for a second time, beating Carla Esparza at UFC 281 in November 2022.
Now, she will look to defend her title against Xiaonan, who is coming off a first-round knockout of former champion Jessica Andrade at UFC 288 in May.
This fight will mark the first time two Chinese fighters will step into the octagon against each other.

Another big-time match in the Lightweight Division is between Brazilian superstar Charles Oliveria and Arman Tsarukyan. This match's winner may get a chance at the Lightweight Title that is currently held by Islam Makhachev.
Oliveria was supposed to challenge Makhahev for the title in October at UFC 294, but was forced to withdraw due to a cut suffered in training. Now he looks to reclaim his title despite a loss to Mahkachev in 2022.
Tsarukyan, who has been quietly building himself up the ranks, made his UFC debut in a win against Makhachev and has racked up wins through his rise in the UFC.
