The event of all events is just around the corner: the Ultimate Fighting Championship's 300th pay-per-view show. A series of top-notch fights awaits us viewers, including two title fights and several top-notch contender fights.
Hill wants his belt back
But Poatan has something against it
The long-speculated main event of this fight night finally went to the Light Heavyweight division, where the newly crowned Alex “Poatan” Pereira first defended his belt against Jamal “Sweet Dreams” Hill , who had to give up the title due to an injury.
The former will certainly try to limit Hill's mobility with his calve kicks, as he did against Prohazka and Blachowitz, before landing his infamous left. But Hill appears to be entering this fight full of confidence in his own kickboxing. In his own podcast, he emphasized his intention to fight former kickboxing world champion Pereira in a stand-up. Pereira's significant improvement in wrestling, and especially his wrestling defense, thanks to his training with Glover Teixeira, makes a smooth submission significantly more difficult than at the beginning of his UFC career.
The bookmakers are divided. It's clear that nuances can make the difference in this fight. We think Jamal Hill will shock the UFC despite a long layoff and send the popular champion to sleep after four rounds.
Chinese Clash
Main Event: Technische Kälte gegen kontrolliertes Chaos
In the co-main, an all-Chinese duel awaits us, with number 1 contender Yan Xiaonan challenging veteran and champion Zhang Weili .
We believe in a technically high-quality fight in which both women will use their qualities both on the stand and on the ground, and can therefore expect a true mixed martial arts fight.
In the end, we believe that Zhang Weili 's experience will prevail and we will thus experience an "And Still" via Unanimous Decision.
BMF-Belt on the Line
Lightweight icon versus Featherweight legend
Alex Pereira im Heavyweight. Allein das reicht eigentlich schon.
Pereira hat im MMA eine Karriere hingelegt, die kaum logisch erklärbar ist. Middleweight-Champion. Light-Heavyweight-Champion. Jetzt die Chance auf Gold im Schwergewicht. Sollte er Ciryl Gane schlagen, wäre das ein historischer Moment. Nicht nur wegen des Ortes, sondern wegen der Dimension.
Drei Gewichtsklassen. Drei Titel. Das ist absurd und noch nie passiert.
Aber Ciryl Gane ist nicht irgendein Gegner, der sich freiwillig vor Pereiras linke Hand stellt. Gane ist beweglich, technisch sauber, groß, schwer zu treffen und für einen Heavyweight ungewöhnlich leichtfüßig. Er kann Pereira mit Kicks auf Distanz halten, Winkel nutzen und den Kampf über Minuten frustrieren.
Die Frage ist: Kann Gane fünf Runden lang perfekt bleiben?
Denn gegen Pereira reicht ein Fehler. Ein kleiner Schritt zu gerade zurück. Eine Hand zu tief. Ein Exit ohne Winkel. Dann ist plötzlich diese linke Hand da, und der Abend verändert sich.
Prediction: Alex Pereira besiegt Ciryl Gane via KO in Runde 4.
Gane hat die Tools, um Runden zu gewinnen: Bewegung, Distanz, Kicks und sauberes Punktesammeln. Aber gegen Pereira ist Perfektion Pflicht, und genau das ist über fünf Runden schwer. Ich sehe Gane früh gut aussehen, bis Pereira ihn zunehmend liest, die Beine bearbeitet und in Runde vier den einen Moment findet, der bei Poatan meistens reicht.
Number One Contender Fight
Charles “DoBronx” Oliveira vs. newcomer Arman Tsarukyan
In the next duel, we have what Dana White always calls a "number one contender fight," meaning the winner will fight for the belt next. Former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira (#1) will face Armenian Arman Tsarukyan (#4) in his quest to reclaim the title.
We expect a fight at the highest level. Arman will attempt to counter Charles' fearsome jiu-jitsu with his world-class wrestling. We expect a mutual feeling-out session followed by a spirited duel showcasing all aspects of the sport.
We think that “Do Bronx’s” will to regain his title will make the difference and we believe in a TKO in round 2.
Incredible names that almost go beyond the scope
A must-watch event for every fight fan
UFC history will be made on the night of April 13-14, 2024. Here are a few facts about the Mega Card in Las Vegas.
At UFC 300, 12 (!) current or former champions compete on one fight card
Of the 26 fighters competing at UFC 300, 20 (!!) are ranked in the top 15 of their respective weight class
In the Prelims alone, six (!!!) former champions are represented
As you can see, given the big names, you'd really have to predict each of the 13 fights individually. Among them, the Austrian local hero Aleksandar Rakic will be fighting against former champion Jiri Prohazka in the final prelims.
