The UFC is set to make history on Saturday, April 13th, as the promotion hosts its highly anticipated UFC 300 event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This landmark occasion promises to deliver an electrifying night of fights, featuring some of the biggest names in the sport.

Headlining the stacked card is a light heavyweight title bout between reigning champion Alex Pereira and former titleholder Jamahal Hill.

The opening odds saw Pereira open as a -165 favorite, with Hill coming in as the +130 underdog. Despite some movement in the odds, Pereira remains the betting favorite at -135, with Hill at +110.

In the co-main event, UFC women’s strawweight champion Zhang Weili puts her title on the line against the number one-ranked contender, Yan Xiaonan. Weili opened as a significant -375 favorite, but that number has since ballooned to -550, with Xiaonan now at +380. Despite the lopsided odds, 74% of the bets and 76% of the money have been placed on the challenger, Xiaonan, suggesting there may be value in taking the underdog.

Before the two championship fights, the event will feature a highly anticipated matchup between BMF champion Justin Gaethje and former featherweight king Max Holloway in a lightweight clash. Gaethje opened as a -250 favorite, but the odds have since narrowed, with the current line at -165 for Gaethje and +135 for Holloway. Bettors seem to be eyeing the value in Holloway, as 52% of the wagers and 55% of the money have come in on the former champion.

Another intriguing bout on the main card pits former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira against rising star Arman Tsarukyan. This fight could determine the next challenger for UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. Tsarukyan opened as a -210 favorite and has barely moved, currently listed at -200, while Oliveira has gone from +175 to +165. Despite the odds, 77% of the bets have been placed on Oliveira, with 51% of the money also on the former champion.

Kicking off the pay-per-view portion of the card is a middleweight matchup between rising star Bo Nickal and Cody Brundage.
