UFC 300 officially announced for Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS – After much speculation and discussion, UFC 300 finally has an official date and location.

UFC 300 will take place April 13 at T-Mobile Arena, the promotion announced on social media during its season news conference.

Historically, the promotion has stacked its hecto-numbered pay-per-view events with deep fight cards and title fights.

While no fights have been revealed for UFC 300, promotion CEO Dana White recently said the card is expected to be stacked from top to bottom. He also confirmed Jim Miller will compete at the event, which will make him the only fighter to compete at UFC 100, UFC 200, and UFC 300.

UFC 100 took place in July 2009 and featured two title fights: Georges St-Pierre vs. Thiago Alves, and Brock Lesnar vs. Frank Mir. It also included an all-time grudge match between Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping.

UFC 200 took place seven years later in July 2016. Initially expected to feature Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz, then Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier, disciplinary suspensions resulted in a fight card that included Amanda Nunes vs. Miesha Tate, Brock Lesnar vs. Mark Hunt, Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar, and more.
