UFC 300 certainly lived up to its billing as one of the greatest cards in MMA history, with plenty of action and excitement for fans to witness. While we didn’t see any official title changes, champions Alex Pereira and Zhang Weili successfully defended their belts. One of the standout moments of the night came when Max Holloway emerged as the new BMF champion after a spectacular buzzer-beater KO victory over Justin Gaethje, earning him a $300,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
Holloway’s dominant performance against Gaethje was a sight to behold, and he walked away with a total of $600,000 in bonuses for the night. Jiri Prochazka also received a bonus for his second-round TKO win over Aleksandr Rakic as he looks to make his way back to another title shot at 205 pounds. Pereira, who previously defeated Prochazka for the vacant title in 2023, was equally impressive in his victory over Jamahal Hill in the UFC 300 main event, securing a first-round knockout with a left uppercut after surviving a kick to the cup and halting the referee’s intervention.
Despite initially falling behind in the fight, Prochazka ultimately emerged victorious over Rakic and received additional cash for his efforts. Notable wins by Deiveson Figueiredo, Renato Moicano, Diego Lopes, and Kayla Harrison also earned them undisclosed bonuses for their stoppage wins. The event featured a number of exciting fights, with results including Zhang Weili defeating Yan Xiaonan by unanimous decision, Arman Tsarukyan defeating Charles Oliveira by split decision, and Kayla Harrison securing a submission victory over Holly Holm.
Overall, UFC 300 was a night to remember for MMA fans, with top-level action and impressive performances from the fighters on the card. The event showcased the best of the sport and delivered on the promise of being one of the greatest cards in history. With fighters like Max Holloway, Jiri Prochazka, Alex Pereira, and others putting on memorable performances, the night was a testament to the talent and skill of the athletes in the UFC. Fans can look forward to more thrilling moments and exciting matchups as the promotion continues to deliver high-quality events for MMA enthusiasts around the world.
