Major UFC 300 Rumors

Alexa Grasso vs. Zhang Weili

(debunked now Weili is booked against Xiaonan)

Strawweight champion Zhang Weili and featherweight champion Alexa Grasso have indicated that they'd like a double-championship showdown at UFC 300.

Grasso shared screenshots of an interaction the two fighters had on December 19, wherein Weili calls for a fight at UFC 300, and Grasso accepts.

Tom Aspinall vs. Alex Pereira

Fans were left scrambling after cryptic messages from light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira indicated he could appear at UFC 300. Conclusions were made that he could be facing interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall when the Brit stoked the fire with his own post.

Both fighters shut down the rumor, however. "Poatan" dismissed his message as jargon in an interview with TheMacLife and Tom Aspinall claimed that Pereira was too busy defending his belt to consider a fight.

Israel Adesanya vs. The Winner of Dricus Du Plessis & Sean Strickland

Fighter-turned-MMA pundit Chael Sonnen estimates that UFC 297 was put together in a hurry so that the winner could face Adesanya in the main event of UFC 300.

The Return of Ronda Rousey or Brock Lesnar

White has denied rumors of Brock Lesnar or Ronda Rousey making a UFC return.

Ben Askren vs. Jorge Masvidal 2

(Possibly debunked now Masvidal is reportedly fighting Nate Diaz in a boxing match)

Ben Askren has remarked that he'd exit retirement to avenge the quickest knockout loss in UFC history. Jorge Masvidal claimed "unretired" in a Tweet around the same time.

The fight doesn't make logical sense and the two stories seem to be coincidental.
