UFC 300 will be headlined by a mouth-watering light heavyweight title fight between champion Alex Pereira and former ruler of the division.
Pereira and Hill, 36 and 32 years old respectively, are just two of 10 former or current undisputed champions featured on this card.

As such, the UFC chose to introduce all 26 fighters who will appear on the card during Friday’s pre-fight press conference.
This means there will be 13 face-offs that will leave fans in attendance and those watching at home salivating.

If the main card is stacked, it typically extends to up to 10 fighters.
