A pair of rising stars will meet Saturday in the main event of a jam-packed UFC 300 card as light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira defends his title against former champion Jamahal Hill. Their five-round showdown caps a title-fight doubleheader on the main UFC fight card from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Last November, Pereira won the light heavyweight title that was vacated by Hill, who has been sidelined for the past 16 months with a knee injury. Now, Hill will attempt to reclaim the title against an imposing figure in Pereira, who has won titles in two separate divisions in just seven total UFC appearances.
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).
