UFC 300 is in view and awaiting a main event. The promotion has announced a healthy card with a surprise out of left field. Big things are expected from the landmark event as the UFC works to piece together a card worthy of the occasion.

The event is nearly complete with 10 fights already announced for the card set to take place on April 13 in Las Vegas. One title fight and a ceremonial title bout are scheduled so far with the main event still to come. Women's strawweight champion Zhang Weili will take on her fellow countrywomen Yan Xiaonan with the title on the line. Plus, the "BMF" title is once again at stake when Justin Gaethje takes on Max Holloway at lightweight.

The other significant announcement so far sees former Olympic gold medalist and PFL lightweight champion Kayla Harrison make her promotional debut when she takes on former champion Holly Holm in a bantamweight contest. The 135-pound limit marks the most dramatic cut Harrison has undergone in her career after competing at 155 pounds with PFL and at 172 pounds at the Olympics.

UFC 300 rumors

  • Makhachev:Don't expect the lightweight champ to compete at UFC 300. White said that Makhachev is dealing with an injury but we knew that Ramadan -- which occurs from March 10 to April 9 -- would complicate matters. Makhachev's account tweeted that he'd like to fight Gaethje at a UFC PPV on June 9 before fighting the winner of Oliveira-Tsarukyan in November.
  • Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad:Edwards announced on social media that he'd be fighting at UFC 300. Journalist Ariel Helwani subsequently reported that "the plan" was for Edwards to defend his UFC welterweight title against Muhammad on the card.
  • Tom Aspinall vs. Alex Pereira: Pereira had fans in a frenzy after posting "300 + 30 = 3" on social media, spurring speculation of a move to heavyweight in pursuit of a third UFC title. Pereira later denied that was his intention but was open to an eventual move to heavyweight. Aspinall shut down the fight, tweeting that Pereira wants to defend his light heavyweight title.
  • Dricus du Plessis vs. Israel Adesanya: Adesanya was in attendance for du Plessis' middleweight title win over Sean Strickland at UFC 297. That had fans wondering if the promotion would book the rivals for a headlining spot at UFC 300. UFC president Dana White was non-commital on the potential bout but expected to have an update on both men soon. Du Plessis is open to the tight turnaround but it's unclear if either will be healthy and ready to go by April 13.
  • Aspinall vs. Stipe Miocic: Aspinall's manager was contacted by UFC for a potential Miocic fight, Aspinall claimed in January. The interim heavyweight champ alleged that Miocic rejected the proposal in favor of waiting for Jon Jones to return from injury.
  • McGregor vs. Chandler:McGregor recently announced that his unconfirmed fight with Chandler would take place at International Fight Week on June 29 instead of UFC 300. White later refuted McGregor's announcement.
  • Dustin Poirier vs. Nate Diaz:Poirier called out Diaz in November. Diaz later published a tweet that returning at UFC 300 enticed him. Unfortunately, Poirier recently claimed the fight would not materialize.
  • Diaz vs. McGregor?: The native of Stockton, California posted on social media recently to make the pitch to headline the event. He noted that he and McGregor were originally supposed to headline UFC 200 in 2016 in a rematch of their first meeting four months earlier. Now, Diaz thinks it's time for the two rivals to complete their trilogy some eight years later.
  • Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey and Georges St-Pierre return:White told Sportsnet's Aaron Bronsteter that none of the three legends would return for UFC 300.
