UFC 300 is here - and the card is stacked from top to bottom.

Main card

Alex Pereira vs Jamahal Hill - 5.30am

Alex Pereira defends his light-heavyweight title for the first time since winning it against Jiri Prochazka in New York last November. The Brazilian has endured a whirlwind few years in the UFC having burst on to the middleweight scene and ripped away the title from superstar Israel Adesanya in 2022. Pereira lost his belt in their rematch before moving up a division and winning the belt after just two bouts.

Pereira faces former 205lb champion Jamahal Hill who fights for the first time in 15 months - and for the first time since he won the belt against Glover Teixeira. Hill was forced to vacate his title when he ruptured his Achilles tendon while playing basketball last summer.

Zhang Weili vs Yan Xiaonan - 4.45am

The first title fight of the night will see strawweight champion Zhang Weili defend her belt against Yan Xiaonan. Weili first won the title in 2019 but back-to-back defeats by Rose Namajunas sent her back to the drawing board. Victory over Carla Esparza saw the Chinese national retain her title before she defended it against Amanda Lemos.

Weili takes on fellow countrywoman Xiaonan who bounced back from defeats by Esparza and Marina Rodriguez to return to winning ways against first Jessica Andrade and then Mackenzie Dern to earn her title shot.

Justin Gaethje vs Max Holloway - 4am

The BMF belt is on the line in a five-round fight which promises violence from start to finish. Neither man will hold back from the first bell with Justin Gaethje looking for this third successive victory as he eyes another lightweight title shot. His last challenge ended in defeat by Charles Oliveira but Gaethje has since beaten Dustin Poirier and Rafael Fiziev to return to the title conversation.

Max Holloway returns to lightweight five years after losing an interim title fight to Dustin Poirier. Since then he has lost three times to former featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski in in a thrilling trilogy. Since his final defeat, Holloway has beaten Jung Chan-sung and Arnold Allen but takes a slight step into the unknown tonight.

Charles Oliveira vs Arman Tsarukyan - 3.30am

Former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira knows victory is essential if he is to earn another fight with Islam Makhachev. Oliveira was submitted by the champion in 2022 when they clashed for the vacant strap. But the Brazilian stopped Beneil Dariush in the first round last summer to put himself back on track.

Since losing to Mateusz Gamrot in 2022, Arman Tsarukyan has strung together three wins in succession, including one over Dariush at the tail end of last year. He too knows this fight is crucial if he is to realise his ambition of taking on Makachev in a rematch for the title.

Bo Nickal vs Cody Brundage - 3am

He may only have five fights to his name but Bo Nickal is already one of the UFC's rising stars. He burst on to the scene when taking part in Dana White's Contender Series and was awarded a contract after his second victory on the show. He has not been out of the first round in either of his first two contracted fights with the UFC.

Cody Brundage should pose more of a challenge having halted a three-fight losing streak last year when Jacob Malkoun was disqualified for an illegal elbow. Brundage went on to KO Zachary Reese but will start as a huge underdog against Nickal.
