The UFC remained in Las Vegas, Nevada for a stacked UFC 300 card with 2 indisputable title battles on the line, along with the BMF belt up for grabs.
In the primary occasion, Alex Pereira was seeking to safeguard his light heavyweight title versus Jamahal Hill. Zhang Weili put her strawweight title on the line versus Yan Xiaonan in the co-main occasion. The card likewise saw Justin Gaethje vs. Max Holloway for the BMF title.
Eventually, it was Pereira who won the battle by first-round knockout. Zhang beat Xioanan by consentaneous choice to protect her strawweight title, while Holloway scored a highlight-reel KO win over Gaethje with one 2nd to go. Now, following UFC 300, here is what I believe need to be next for the stars of UFC 300.
Alex Pereira
Alex Pereira safeguarded his light heavyweight title for the very first time in a huge method as he scored a first-round knockout over Jamahal Hill. Pereira made the battle appearance simple, and he didn’t take much damage as he contacted us to return at UFC 301 at heavyweight.
It appears not likely that Pereira will battle at heavyweight, and rather, his next battle needs to be safeguarding his title versus Magomed Ankalaev. The battle can likely occur in July or August as Pereira must have the ability to make a return ASAP.
Jamahal Hill
Jamahal Hill needed to leave the belt due to injury, so he had actually never ever lost his belt in the Octagon. At UFC 300, he had the possibility to recover his belt versus Alex Pereira, however he came up brief.
Hill is still near the title photo and a rational next battle is to deal with Jiri Prochazka with the winner getting a title shot.
Zhang Weili
(through Zuffa LLC)
Zhang Weili safeguarded her strawweight bit by choice at UFC 300, however most likely must have won by submission at the end of the preliminary, and TKO in the 2nd round.
With the win, Weili ought to deal with Tatiana Suarez next, with the battle most likely occurring this summer season. Suarez has actually been pegged as a future champ considering that she signed up with the UFC, and now she ought to get her very first fracture at UFC gold.
Yan Xiaonan
Yan Xiaonan did have success versus Weili sometimes, consisting of dropping her, so her stock does not drop after UFC 300. With that, Xiaonan will likely just require a win or 2 to get a title shot and a sensible next battle is to deal with Jessica Andrade who got a win earlier at UFC 300, as the winner might get a title shot.
Max Holloway
(by means of Zuffa LLC)
Max Holloway was the star of UFC 300 after his last-second KO over Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 to win the BMF title.
Holloway moved up to light-weight, his next battle ought to be back at featherweight and ought to be for the belt versus Ilia Topuria.
