The UFC pulled out all the stops and is hosting a stack to celebrate its three-hundredth pay-per-view event. The card will, of course, be headlined by a tantalizing light heavyweight title fight between the light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira And Jamahal Hill.

Hill did not lose his title in the octagon and vacated his light heavyweight belt last year after an injury. For this reason, he believes the belt is rightfully his and is eager to regain the 205-pound title. Given both men’s world-class striking abilities as well as their willingness to stay in the pocket and exchange with their opponents, the fight is not expected to last five full rounds.

For their fight, “Poatan” might opt ​​to retire to Sepultura’s “Itsari,” who he has been using since his promotional debut. Hill, on the other hand, is likely to bow out to the cult classic, Phil Collins’ ‘In the Air Tonight,’ as he did in his only other title fight. Another exciting clash is the BMF title fight between the champion Justin Gaethje and former featherweight champion Max Holloway.

Holloway will likely go for a mix of “Running Up the Hill” and “Hawaiian Kickboxer,” as he has in almost every previous fight. Gaethje, meanwhile, has been using a variety of different songs as of late and might be performing to the tunes of Tribal Seeds’ “Fallen Kings,” which he used during his UFC 291 clash against Dustin Poirier. Or he can opt for the reggae classic “Ready” by Alborosie featuring Mersa Marley.

The third title fight in the card is the historic Zhang Weili against Yan Xiaonan, a All-Chinese women’s strawweight title fight. Weili usually comes out on the song “Swordsman & Sea” and is likely to move it forward. However, Xiaonan has used a different song in almost every fight she has had in the UFC.

Oliveira, meanwhile, goes to Fernandinho’s ‘O Hino’ and will most likely use it at UFC 300.

His opponent Cody Brundageon the other hand, favors the song “Fantasy” by Mariah Carey.

The UFC is pulling out all the stops for its signature birthday card. With the added incentive of Dana White’s promised $300,000 bonuses, the card has the potential to become one of the best cards the UFC has ever created. What are your predictions for UFC 300?
