by Shakiel Mahjouri · CBS SportsIt's time for a celebration of sorts. UFC is set to mark a milestone number of PPV events on Saturday night in Las Vegas with UFC 300 set for the T-Mobile Arena. After giant successes with their 100 and 200 events, UFC went all out to make sure that Saturday is one for the books. The card features two recognized title fights along with the ceremonial "BMF" title at stake. Plus, the undercard fills out with many former champions, a few rising prospects and a two-time Olympic gold medalist making her promotional debut.
The main event sees the return of UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira as he looks to make his first defense of the crown against former titleholder Jamahal Hill. Pereira earned the the title in November with a knockout of Jiri Prochazka. Hill was forced to vacate the title last year after suffering a torn Achilles while playing basketball.

Weili is on her second run as champion at 115 pounds and coming off a thorough beating of Amanda Leemos in her last appearance.
