Various titles will be on the line during a night of expected violence at UFC 300, which takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on April 13. The event is a celebration of the UFC’s thirty-year history and will air on ESPN+ in the U.S.
The main event is Alex Pereira defending the UFC light heavyweight title against Jamahal Hill, the former champion. Hill was forced to relinquish the belt after rupturing his Achilles.
He is the underdog against the former UFC middleweight champion, which makes him feel disrespected.
“Yeah [it annoys me]. Some of it is just flat-out disrespect. It’s a complete disregard for who I am and what I’ve done, what I’ve put on the line even by doing this,” Hill said via Eurosport “There’s some annoyance, there’s a chip there. I want to go in and show who I truly am at my peak form. I believe at my peak form, there’s nobody close to me. I’m not going to talk you to death, I’m not going to try and convince you of anything. I’ll just show it.”
