The Best of the Best

You want current champions in action? How about two of them? UFC 300 will feature two of the most dominant champions in the promotion, ready to defend their titles and solidify their legacies.

But that’s not all. The dream matchups on this card are enough to make any fan’s heart race. Justin Gaethje vs. Max Holloway is a fight that has been on everyone’s wishlist and now it’s finally happening. These two warriors have a combined 22 post-fight bonuses, including 13 for “Fight of the Night.” Need we say more?

A Fight for the Ages

The UFC is also serving up a lineup of contenders, fan favorites, and action fighters. From Charles Oliveira to Kayla Harrison, Jalin Turner to Jessica Andrade, this card has it all. But there’s one fight that stands out above the rest – Justin Gaethje vs. Max Holloway.

With Gaethje’s reputation for putting on unforgettable wars and Holloway’s technical prowess, this fight has all the makings of a classic. Both fighters have never been finished by strikes and have faced some of the toughest opponents in the sport. This fight is like pouring gasoline on the octagon floor and dropping a lit match – it’s going to be explosive.

The Most Fun Fight of the Evening

While some may argue for other matchups on the card, the wisest among us know that Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Cody Garbrandt is the fight to watch. This matchup has been years in the making and now it’s finally happening, albeit in a different weight class.

Figueiredo and Garbrandt are two of the most exciting fighters in the UFC and this fight is guaranteed to deliver. As MMA enthusiasts, we love the knockouts and this fight has the potential for some spectacular ones.

The Ultimate Showdown

As we count down the days to UFC 300, the anticipation only grows. With a stacked lineup and some of the most highly anticipated matchups in MMA history, this event is set to be one for the ages. So mark your calendars and get ready for the ultimate showdown – UFC 300.

The Battle of the Brawlers: Garbrandt vs. Cruz

When Dan Henderson bludgeoned Michael Bisping into the shadow realm and then hit him with a dive bomb for good measure, my soul crystalized and exploded like a Big Bang of glee. And every time Cody Garbrandt gets drawn into a right hook competition, I hear the seraphim sing.

Garbrandt is responsible for one of the single greatest performances in UFC title history with his win over Dominick Cruz. But at the same time, he has also lost the same way over and over again: getting hit and then foolishly deciding it’s time to bite down on the mouthpiece and sling ‘em until someone falls down. Invariably, it’s him that drops.

No fighter in history has ever been less equipped but more likely to go full Rock’em Sock’em than Garbrandt, and he’s about to do it against a man who is extremely well-equipped to fight that sort of battle. Maybe this time he’ll actually win it – it’s always possible. But either way, we’re in for a lovely bit of violence between two future Hall of Famers to kick off the evening, and quite possibly a “KO of the Year” contender.

Kosport Magazine: The OG of the Wolf Pack

Marrocco: Being the OG of this wolf pack, I think we need to give a shout out to the fight—or more specifically, the fighter—that ties the centennial events together. Jim Miller is the only fighter to have competed at UFC 100, UFC 200 and UFC 300. That’s insane.

When he was battering Mac Danzig at UFC 100, Holloway was 18 and hadn’t fought professionally. In fact, only five fighters on the entire April 13 card—Holloway, Oliveira, Calvin Kattar, Yan Xionan, and Miller’s opponent, Bobby Green—had fought professionally in the cage. Miller and Green are great examples of the living evolution of this game and they’re fighting each other.

Want entertainment? Miller is tied with Gaethje (as well as Diego Sanchez and Joe Lauzon) for “Fight of the Night” bonuses. Want finishes? He’s just behind Oliveira in the record books with 18. Want experience? At 43 UFC bouts, there is no one more experienced.

Stats don’t always translate into great fights, I know. But also? Green is a pretty tough go for a guy who’s fought literally everyone. It’s no sail off into the sunset for old “A-10.” Green has eight post-fight bonuses to his name, and after a string of decisions, six of his past eight haven’t seen the judges’ scorecards. Green likes to stand and bang, and Miller can sling ‘em or submit ‘em.

The last centennial event, Miller finished Japanese legend Takanori Gomi. The sunset of his career has been a delight of thumbed noses at Father Time, and given his submission abilities, I think we’re likely to see another fairy tale ending for the most veteran of veterans. There’s plenty of luster from mid-card on at UFC 300. I’m here for the prelims too.

Kosport Magazine: Oliveira vs. Tsarukyan – A Clash of Champions

Lee: Outside of one matchup (Nickal vs. Brundage, I’m looking at you), UFC 300 is all about matching the best with the best and there may be no better high-level matchup than Charles Oliveira vs. Arman Tsarukyan. To put it another way: Former champion vs. future champion.

As a self-professed “Do Bronx Disciple,” I’m admittedly biased, but I don’t think you need to be a fan of the Brazilian star to get excited for this one. Oliveira has long been one of the most exciting fighters in arguably MMA’s most exciting division and pairing him up with Tsarukyan is a formula for chaos. They both have unfinished business with Islam Makhachev and outside of their past losses to the champ, they’ve thrashed just about anyone who’s dared to stand across from them.

This matchup is also compelling from a narrative standpoint, with Oliveira out to prove that he’s still the true No. 1 contender at 155 pounds and Tsarukyan searching for that signature win that leaves no doubt he deserves a shot to avenge his loss to Makhachev. Tsarukyan wows fans every time he steps into the cage and a win over Oliveira would have them clamoring for the UFC to give him his due.

The only shame here is that someone has to lose, because Saturday could mark the beginning of the end for either man’s title hopes. Oliveira has a lot of mileage on him and he may have to reluctantly pass the torch to Tsrarukyan; on the other hand, a win for Oliveira could solidify his spot as the top contender in the division. Either way, this is a matchup that is sure to deliver fireworks and could potentially be a “Fight of the Year” candidate.

Kosport Magazine: Summary

In conclusion, UFC 300 is shaping up to be an epic event with two highly anticipated matchups that are sure to deliver excitement and entertainment. The battle between Garbrandt and Cruz is a clash of brawlers that is guaranteed to be a thrilling display of violence, while the matchup between Oliveira and Tsarukyan is a clash of champions that could potentially determine the next title contender. With the added bonus of veteran Jim Miller and the rising star Bobby Green, this event is not one to be missed. Stay tuned for what is sure to be a night of unforgettable fights.

The Battle of the Lightweights: Oliveira vs. Tsarukyan

Welcome to Kosport Magazine, your go-to source for all things sports. Today, we’re diving into the highly anticipated matchup between Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan at UFC 300. This fight has been generating a lot of buzz in the MMA community, and for good reason.

On one hand, we have Oliveira, a seasoned veteran with an impressive record of 30 wins and 8 losses. He’s known for his slick submissions and relentless pressure in the octagon. On the other hand, we have Tsarukyan, a rising star with a record of 16 wins and 2 losses. He’s a well-rounded fighter with a strong wrestling background and a hunger to prove himself in the UFC.

This matchup is a classic battle of experience versus youth, and it’s sure to be a thrilling fight. Both fighters have a lot to gain from this bout. For Oliveira, a win could potentially put him in the title picture for the lightweight division. He’s been on a six-fight win streak and has been making a case for himself as a top contender.

But for Tsarukyan, a win over a veteran like Oliveira could catapult him into the spotlight and solidify his place in the UFC. He’s already proven himself to be a tough opponent, with his only losses coming from top-ranked fighters.

However, a disappointing performance from either fighter could have consequences. For Oliveira, a loss could mean being pushed down the rankings and having to work his way back up. And for Tsarukyan, a loss could put a ceiling on his potential in the eyes of the matchmakers.

But let’s not focus on the negatives. This fight has the potential to be a show-stealer. Both Oliveira and Tsarukyan are known for their exciting fighting styles and ability to finish their opponents. And with this being the last fight on the main card before a trio of title bouts, it’s safe to say that the winner of this matchup will be the most talked-about fighter from the card.
