Alex Pereira vs Jamahal Hill Prediciton & Pick

However, Hill is determined to reclaim the throne and showcase his own impressive stand-up skills. This fight has all the makings of a stand-up war, with both men possessing the ability to end the contest with a single shot.

While Hill’s technical striking and speed could pose problems for Pereira, the champion’s raw power and ability to absorb damage give him the edge. Expect a back-and-forth battle, with Pereira ultimately securing a late-round knockout victory to retain his title.

  • Pereira vs Hill Pick: Alex Pereira (-135)

Zhang Weili vs Yan Xiaonan Pick & Prediction

The co-main event features a historic all-Chinese strawweight title clash between reigning champion Zhang Weili and top contender Yan Xiaonan. Zhang, widely regarded as one of the best female fighters in the world, looks to continue her dominant reign with a statement victory over her compatriot.

Yan, riding an impressive win streak, aims to dethrone the champion and become the first Chinese fighter to hold UFC gold. Zhang’s well-rounded skill set, featuring powerful striking and strong grappling, should be the deciding factor in this matchup.

While Yan’s striking prowess cannot be overlooked, Zhang’s ability to dictate the pace and location of the fight should lead her to a unanimous decision victory, solidifying her status as the queen of the strawweight division.

  • Weili vs Xiaonan Pick: Zhang Weili (-485)

Justin Gaethje vs Max Holloway Prediction & Pick

Fan favorites Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway collide in a highly anticipated lightweight bout for the BMF (Baddest Motherf***er) title. Gaethje, known for his relentless pressure and all-action style, looks to add another highlight-reel finish to his resume.

Holloway, a former featherweight champion, aims to prove his worth at lightweight and capture the coveted BMF belt. This fight has “Fight of the Night” written all over it, with both men known for their incredible durability and high-volume striking.

Gaethje’s power and pressure will be a significant factor early on, but Holloway’s technical boxing and conditioning will come into play as the fight progresses. In a back-and-forth war, Holloway’s superior cardio and striking accuracy will earn him a hard-fought unanimous decision victory, cementing his status as the UFC’s BMF.

  • Gaethje vs Holloway Pick: Justin Gaethje (-170)

UFC 300 Quick Picks

  • Jiri Prochazka (+100) vs Aleksandar Rakic: Prochazka’s unorthodox striking and improved grappling should lead him to a hard-fought decision victory over Rakic.
  • Charles Oliveira (+195) vs Arman Tsarukyan: Oliveira’s experience and well-rounded skill set should be the difference-maker, as he secures a third-round submission win over the rising contender Tsarukyan.
  • Holly Holm vs Kayla Harrison (-425): In a clash of decorated combat sports athletes, Harrison’s size and grappling prowess will prove too much for Holm, resulting in a unanimous decision win for the former PFL champion in her UFC debut.
  • Aljamain Sterling (-170) vs Calvin Kattar: Sterling’s wrestling and improved striking should lead him to a split-decision victory over the always-tough Kattar in this high-stakes featherweight bout.
