Historic Fight Set for UFC 300 UFC President Dana White has announced a Historic fight set for UFC 300 with two Chinese female fighters that will headline the main event. This will go down in history. First time that to what? Chinese fighters fight each other in the UFC because, genuinely, Weilli Zhang is defending her UFC women's Strawweight championship against Yan Xiaonan. As the Ultimate Fighting Championship gears up for its landmark UFC 300 event, the recent unveiling of additional bouts adds complexity and intrigue to an already robust fight card. The groundbreaking announcement of Weilli Zhang versus Yan Xiaonan cements a historic milestone for Chinese athletes in the sport. It poses a compelling narrative of Weili's attempt to fortify her legacy against a surging Xiaonan, who has her sights set on championship glory. This is complemented by a roster of matches featuring seasoned veterans and ascendant newcomers, each bringing their unique backstory and skillset to the Octagon. Analysts and enthusiasts alike are poised to witness a convergence of tactical prowess, athletic brilliance, and personal vendettas, all under the bright lights of the T-Mobile Arena. Please read our other articles touching upon the UFC 300 matchups and speculation UFC 300's Explosive Matchups and Potential Main Events Thrilling UFC 300 Matchups Unveiled UFC 300 Match-up Dream List Historic Fight Set for UFC 300 is Not Enough This decision marks a significant milestone in the promotion's history, showcasing mixed martial arts's global reach and evolving landscape. The co-hosts of Ringside Report MMA, Dave Simon, AJ D'Alesio, and Fred Garcia, reacted to this groundbreaking announcement, acknowledging the increasing prominence of Chinese fighters in the UFC and the potential impact of this main event on the global MMA stage. While recognizing the historic significance of having two Chinese female fighters headline UFC 300, Dave, Fred and AJ expressed reservations about this matchup being the main event for such a milestone UFC card. They opined that while the fight regarding representation and diversity is groundbreaking, it might not carry the expected weight or draw that a UFC event of this magnitude typically commands. The hosts speculated that more high-profile fights might be announced to supplement the card, ensuring that UFC 300 lives up to its billing as a landmark event in the sport. Key Takeaways The first title fight for UFC 300 is between Weilli Zhang and Yan Xiaonan in the strawweight division. Yan Xiaonan will compete in her first-ever title fight, while Weilli Zhang will defend her title for the second time. Weilli Zhang can extend her title reign to 518 days, the second-longest in the division's history. UFC 300 is expected to be a large celebration of the promotion, similar to UFC 100 and UFC 200, with Dana White promising a mind-blowing lineup that has yet to materialize fully. UFC 300 Title Fight

On today's episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim and Matt are joined by Megan Olivi to recap last Saturday's fights in Nashville and assess where Cory Sandhagen fits in the UFC bantamweight title picture. As Jim and Matt wait for Megan to work through some technical difficulties, the guys discuss why they believe Cory Sandhagen's ability to fight through a torn triceps tendon should be the main takeaway despite the low amount of combined significant strikes in Saturday's main event against Rob Font.

After Megan provides some additional journalistic context to Tatiana Suarez's resilient story following the unbeaten strawweight's win over Jessica Andrade on Saturday night, she wraps up her appearance on the show by telling Matt what she and her husband Joseph Benavidez are streaming these days on TV.
