This looks insane
Dana White has confirmed a blockbuster line-up for UFC 300. The long-anticipated Conor McGregor comeback must wait until the summer, at least, but this is a great card.
The UFC are attempting to put on one of the best cards in the sport’s history on April 13 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Charles Oliveira, Aljamain Sterling and Cody Garbrandt will all feature on the card while Zhang Weili and Yan Xiaonan will face off in a huge UFC women’s strawweight title bout. White also confirmed that Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway will square off for the BMF title.

Justin Gaethje is looking to defend the gold belt after he knocked out Dustin Poirier at UFC 291 while Max Holloway comes into the fight off the back of two consecutive wins however, people are fearing for the worst for Holloway.
“Max’s chin is really gonna get put to the test,” said one fan.
