By the time UFC president Dana White announced the main event for UFC 300, even he didn’t seem excited about it anymore. Mostly what he seemed was relieved. It was finally over. This much-hyped, much-anticipated event had a headliner at last. And that headliner is … UFC light heavyweight champ Alex Pereira vs. former champ Jamahal Hill.
As UFC pay-per-view main events go, that’s a fine fight. It makes sense as a next step for the division. It’s an interesting stylistic matchup. You throw a couple of tall, lanky striking specialists in there against each other, the result ought to be fun and fast and exciting.
