Light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira and No. 1 contender and former champ Jamahal Hill take top heading in the UFC 300 card in which they are among 12 current or former title holders. The event includes 11 fighters who have been on the top line of a UFC pay-per-view event, two-time U.S.
FILE - Brazil’s Alex Pereira, left, punches Czech Republic’s Jiri Prochazka during the second round of a light heavyweight title bout at the UFC 295 mixed martial arts event, early Nov. 12, 2023, in New York. Pereira and Jamahal Hill meet for the light heavyweight championship in UFC 300 on Saturday night, April 13, in Las Vegas. They headline a card that includes 10 other current or former champions.
Miller said he didn’t have to drag himself to this card after all, that even at an age when most fighters long ago stopped entering the cage, he feels reinvigorated. The card itself is strong enough to get the heart beating fast for anyone associated with the sport in any form. Hill, 32, could have been the one wearing the championship belt into the cage, but had to vacate the light heavyweight title last July after tearing his Achilles tendon. That meant the 36-year-old Pereira took over as champ.
