In what many observers have termed the Super Bowl of mixed martial arts, UFC 300 takes place Saturday in Las Vegas headlined by a light heavyweight title fight, with champion Alex Pereira defending the crown against former champion Jamahal Hill. Their five-round showdown closes the curtain on the main UFC 300 fight card (10 p.m. ET) from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In total, 11 current or former champions will take to the Octagon, topped by a fight from two icons for the mythical BMF belt and a pair of UFC championship fights.
Pereira is a -125 betting favorite (risk $125 to win $100), while Hill is offered at +105 in the UFC 300 odds. In the co-main event, women’s strawweight champion Zhang Weili (-480) defends her belt against challenger Yan Xiaonan (+360).
