Dana White Reveals Alex Pereira vs. Jamahal Hill as the Unexpected Main Event for UFC 300

UFC 300 will feature Alex Pereira vs. Jamahal Hill as the main event surprising many who anticipated Pereira defending his light heavyweight title at UFC 301. UFC CEO Dana White explained that the decision was based on timing and opportunity with Hill returning after recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. White praised welterweight champion Leon Edwards for accepting multiple opponents for UFC 300 but clarified that Edwards won’t be defending his title at the event.

White emphasized that the decision was not about money but about making the best fights for the stacked three events schedule. Despite facing hurdles, Pereira and Hill were ready and available for the historic UFC 300 main event. This marks another significant achievement for Pereira who joined the UFC less than three years ago and now defends his second divisional title. Hill recovering from injury is expected to be ready for the bout showcasing the card’s potential.
