The 300th numbered event of the queen MMA organization offered a stunning spectacle, with 4 impressive knockouts. Max Holloway and Justin Gaethje waged a real war, ultimately won by the former.
Champion since November 2022, Weili Zhang managed to retain her title against her compatriot Yan Xiaonan. 15 other champions or former champions were on the program for this UFC 300, considered by Dana White, the president of the organization, as “the greatest card in the history of combat sports”. Deiveson Figueiredo first submitted Cody Garbrandt, before Bobby Green and Jim Miller provided an initial bloodbath. At the end of the preliminary card, former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka defeated former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling by one-sided unanimous decision. The other rising star, the American Cody Brundage, also established himself as a star, submitting his opponent in the second round thanks to a rear choke. The first knockout of the evening came a few minutes later.
