Assuring fans that UFC 300 will be an extravaganza of epic proportions, White has ignited speculation about the potential main event showdown.

Then we’ve got a clash for the ages between former interim UFC Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje, also known for his “BMF” (baddest motherfucker) title, and former UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway in a lightweight showdown. Gaethje earned this symbolic title at UFC 291, triumphing over Dustin Poirier in a thrilling encounter.

Adding to this list of top tier names is the UFC promotional debut of 2012 and 2016 Olympic gold medalist in judo (and MMA legend of PFL fame), Kayla Harrison, who steps into the octagon for the first time in her bantamweight debut against none other than former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion (and legend in her own right), Holly Holm.
