After weeks of speculation and rumors, regarding what bout will headline UFC 300, the historic card finally has its main event.

On Saturday, the UFC announced that light-heavyweight champ Alex Pereira will battle former champ, Jamahal Hill, in the card’s headliner.

Pereira (9-2) secured the light-heavyweight title in November by stopping Jiri Prochazka in round two. That bout followed the former middleweight champ’s split decision win over Jan Blachowicz in July.

Hill (12-1), meanwhile, hasn’t fought since January, 2023, when he won the light-heavyweight title by recording a decision win over Glover Teixeira. Later in the year, Hill ruptured his Achille’s tendon and elected to vacate the title.

UFC 300 will be hosted by the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on April 13th.
