Alex Pereira vs. Jamahal Hill will headline UFC 300 on April 13. UFC CEO Dana White announced the matchup during the aftermath of UFC 298 on February 18.

UFC 300's feature bout will be for Pereira's light heavyweight title. Hill, who vacated the championship, will be returning from a long layoff after tearing his Achilles tendon playing basketball in 2023.

As of now (Feb 18), UFC 300's lineup contains 12 fights (not in bout order, subject to change):

  • Alex Pereira vs. Jamahal Hill; LHW Title Fight
  • Max Holloway vs. Justin Gaethje; LW BMF Title 
  • Zhang Weili vs. Yan Xiaonan; SW Title Fight
  • Jiri Prochazka vs. Aleksandar Rakic; LHW
  • Charles Oliveira vs. Arman Tsarukyan; LW
  • Calvin Kattar vs. Aljamain Sterling; FW
  • Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Cody Garbrandt; BW
  • Bobby Green vs. Jim Miller; LW
  • Holly Holm vs. Kayla Harrison; BW
  • Bo Nickal vs. Cody Brundage; MW
  • Jessica Andrade vs. Marina Rodriguez; SW
  • Sodiq Yusuff vs. Diego Lopes; FW

With 12 fights, there is still the potential for one, maybe two more bouts. 

Former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is ready for a return, according to his coach Eugene Bareman, and a potential target would be Dricus Du Plessis. In addition to this, interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall recently revealed his UFC 300 negotiations and still alludes to the fact he'd like to appear on the card.

It remains yet to be seen whether the UFC 300 card is complete, or in need of more additions.
