UFC 300 is in view and awaiting a main event. The promotion has announced a healthy card with a surprise out of left field. Big things are expected from the landmark event as the UFC works to piece together a card worthy of the occasion.
The latest significant addition to UFC 300 is Holly Holm vs. Kayla Harrison, a surprise signing from the PFL. Harrison is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time PFL tournament winner. She’ll be thrown into the deep end against a former UFC and boxing champion.
Another big booking is Justin Gaethje vs. Max Holloway for the ceremonial BMF title. Gaethje earned the distinction with a vicious head kick knockout of Dustin Poirier in 2022. Holloway returns to lightweight for the first time since a failed interim title bid against Poirier in 2019. He’s 5-3 since then with all three losses against featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski.
