The time has finally arrived. UFC 300 is upon us as the MMA leader has reached its magnificent milestone. 26 fighters will step into the Octagon in Las Vegas, which will see three title fights and the return of a former champion who didn't lose his belt in the cage.

The man event will see Jamahal Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1, 1 NC UFC) return to the UFC for the first time in nine months, as he suffered an Achilles injury which forced him to relinquish the belt. Alex Pereira (9-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC), the only fighter in UFC history to win the UFC middleweight and light heavyweight title in less than two years, stakes claim to that feat and will attempt to defend the title for the first time.

The pay-per-view portion also features two other marque matchups, including the "BMF" title bout between former interim lightweight champion Justin Gaethje (25-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) and former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway (25-7 MMA, 21-7 UFC). Both men share many common opponents, including Dustin Poirier, whom Gaethje took the belt from last July. Despite the "BMF" title holding no major significance, it's the first time it's getting defended by its current belt holder.

The rest of the card features championship-level material, including a strawweight title between Zhang Weili (24-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) and Xiaonan Yan (17-3, 1 NC MMA, 8-2 UFC), along with Aljamain Sterling's debut at 145 pounds.
