UFC 300 promises to be an epic event with President Dana White confirming that Alex Pereira will put his title on the line against Jamahal Hill in the main event on April 13, 2024.
The showdown is expected to take place at the T-mobile Arena in Las Vegas, which can host approximately 20,000 fans, similar to the venues for UFC 100 and UFC 200.

Speaking on TNT Sports, Dana White expressed his excitement about putting together such a stacked card, stating, “You want to build these amazing cards that make people lose their minds, but there’s also so much more to it with a 300.
There’s this whole what is the feel of the show going to be. So there’s a lot more that goes into it than just the card, but what you can expect is the first prelim of the night for you to be going like, ‘Holy sh*t, this is the first prelim of the night? This is insane. That’s how good 300 is going to be.”
