UFC 300 fight card update: Here are the latest additions to the UFC’s landmark event

Fans are eagerly looking forward to UFC 300, slated for April 13 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Although the headliner for the landmark event remains undisclosed, the UFC has revealed a robust lineup that includes a fair share of unexpected fights.

The recent notable inclusion in UFC 300 is a bantamweight matchup between Holly Holm and Kayla Harrison. Harrison's transition to the UFC has garnered widespread attention, particularly due to her achievements as a two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time winner of the PFL tournament.

The UFC also announced the addition of a featherweight matchup between Sodiq Yusuff and Diego Lopes.

Another significant matchup features Justin Gaethje against Max Holloway for the honorary 'BMF' title. 'The Highlight' secured the title through a brutal head-kick knockout of Dustin Poirier at UFC 291 last July.

Elsewhere the card, Zhang Weili is set to defend her UFC strawweight title against fellow Chinese star Yan Xiaonan. The fight complements the earlier confirmation of several compelling bouts: a No.1 contender matchup with former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira facing Arman Tsarukyan, a light heavyweight clash featuring Jiri Prochazka against Aleksandar Rakic, a featherweight showdown between Calvin Kattar and Aljamain Sterling, and a middleweight clash involving Bo Nickal and Cody Brundage.

Additionally, former champions Deiveson Figueiredo and Cody Garbrandt are set to face off in a bantamweight bout.
