by Tyler Doty | by Tyler Doty
The evening of UFC 300, taking place from the night of Saturday, April 13 to Sunday, April 14, 2024, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, is set to be one of the most anticipated nights of the year. With 3 fights offering a world belt to the victorious fighters, spectators in Las Vegas will be thrilled for nearly 6 hours of showtime, sweat, punches, and knockouts. But the question now arises: how to bet on MMA during UFC 300? Find all the answers in our article with our top experts providing their advice for betting on this night of combat!
How does an MMA evening unfold?
A typical MMA evening usually includes about ten fights, spaced 30 minutes apart, and is divided into two parts: the undercard and the main card. How are they differentiated, you might ask? Simply put, the main card of an MMA event gathers the night's top fighters, including the main event, which is the most important fight of the evening and has the honor of closing the curtain on the night of combat. The undercard features fighters on the rise or of a lower level who hope to advance in their preferred weight class. While the fights might seem less interesting on paper, in the octagon, it's a different story, and often the undercard showcases the fighters of tomorrow who will have the honor of being part of the main card!
But in the octagon, there is also a difference between the undercard and the main card, which will impact the fight. What difference? The number of rounds! Indeed, only the fighters on the main card will have their fights contested over 5 rounds of 5 minutes. Fighters on the undercard will have to contend with 3 rounds of 5 minutes before potentially seeing the judges decide the outcome of the fight if the two fighters have not managed to distinguish themselves. A significant change in the preparation of the fight and in managing efforts in the octagon.
Several times during the year, main events will pit the best fighters of certain categories against each other for the belt, designating the best in their category. With 8 men's categories (flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight, lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight) and 3 women's categories (strawweight, flyweight, and bantamweight), the belt holder is considered the undisputed champion of the category, which they will defend in the coming months against a contender chosen for the event. As soon as the reigning champion participates in a fight, their belt is up for grabs, and they must win to keep it. And in this UFC 300 evening in Las Vegas, several fights will crown a king and queen in the category!
With 13 fights on the schedule for this Ultimate Fighting Championship 300 evening, be ready for more than 6 hours of showtime in the octagon!
Who are the stars of UFC 300? What are the main card fights?
This MMA evening in Las Vegas is eagerly awaited, primarily because of the presence of several UFC star fighters with belts at stake during the evening! The main card of UFC 300, which will start at 9:00 PM CST Saturday night, will see the following fights in sequence:
- Alex Pereira vs Jamahal Hill (light heavyweight belt)
- Zhang Weili vs Yan Xiaonan (strawweight belt)
- Justin Gaethje vs Max Holloway (BMF belt)
- Charles Oliveira vs Arman Tsarukyan
- Bo Nickal vs Cody Brundage
As you can see, this MMA evening in Las Vegas promises to be sublime, with notably 3 belts at stake. Holding the title in the light heavyweight division, Brazilian Alex Pereira will defend his title against American Jamahal Hill, who hasn't fought since January 2023. The South American is one of the legends of the UFC and a true god in his country. Will he be able to defend his belt against the American and his fans during this main event?
Another fight featured in the co-main event will take place among women in the strawweight category with the two best fighters, the Chinese Zhang Weili and Yan Xiaonan, who will engage in a beautiful duel. The former, holding the belt, will have to withstand the vigor of her compatriot, determined to push her opponent off the throne in a highly intense fight between the best of today.
The third fight that will hold a special place in this UFC 300 evening is the 100% American duel between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway for the BMF belt. This belt represents the toughest, most enduring, and most charismatic fighters in the UFC. For the occasion, the organization offers us a gala fight between two of the best fighters in the octagon with Justin Gaethje (lightweight fighter) and Max Holloway (featherweight fighter). A duel where strikes and power should be felt even in front of your screen with two of the most respected fighters in the UFC world.
Finally, a fight that will be overshadowed by the above-mentioned fights but deserves to be watched, the duel between Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan, respectively ranked number 1 and number 4 in the lightweight division. The winner of this fight could soon be offered to fight for the belt against the undisputed master, Islam Makhachev.
