UFC 300 is around the corner and some awesome fights have already been booked for the fight card.

Among the athletes that’s featured on the card we find former champions Aljamain Sterling and Jiri Prochazka, as well as rising star Bo Nickal and lightweight veteran Jim Miller.

However, to be one of the biggest cards ever, the promotion needs a couple of stars of a higher caliber!

If the UFC won’t book Conor McGregor for UFC 300 it would be nothing but a scandal. The No. 1 money fighter in MMA would definitely bring glamour and buzz to the card that everybody already talks about.

Nate Diaz recently hinted at a return to UFC action?!

Well, book the trilogy for UFC 300 for Christ’s sake!

Max Holloway

Former UFC champion Max Holloway is one of the most popular featherweight’s to ever step into the octagon. However, a move up to lightweight would open up even more interesting fights for ”Blessed”.

Dustin Poirier, Michael Chandler and Rafael Dos Anjos – Holloway doesn’t need another title, just a great name and an interesting fight!

Zhang Weili

The strawweight queen Zhang Weili is looking to move up to flyweight. She and the flyweight champion Alexa Grasso recently agreed verbally to clash.

“Hi champion. Maybe the fans wants to see us fight at UFC 300,” Weili wrote on a recent Grasso post on Instagram.

Weili is known to always bring the fight and has three straight performance-winning wins, two in title bouts.

Dustin Poirier

Former lightweight interim champion Dustin ”The Diamond” Poirier has recently claimed that his career is in a weird place.

“This is the first time I’m in this position in my whole career: still at the top but kind of waiting for something big to happen,” Porier said.

Well, just put the man on the card, give him a superfight against Colby Covington or Max Holloway and the fans will definitely line up to buy PPV’s!

Edson Barboza

With 11 post-fight bonuses Edson Barboza never fails to entertain!

Win or lose, the Brazilian striker always gives everything he got. Coming from a Fight of the Year-candidate against Sodiq Yusuff, the veteran showed he still has plenty more left in the gas tank.

A fight with the dangerous Josh Emmett would be nothing but a complete banger. Make it happen!

Valentina Shevchenko

We need to see a hungry and angry Valentina Shevchenko back in the cage. The once dominant champion had a rough 2023 with two straight failures – including a controversial split draw – against Alexa Grasso.

The only problem is that Shevchenko has pretty much beaten all top opposition except Manon Fiorot and Erin Blanchfield, who will square off at UFC Fight Night 239 on March 30.
