Kayla Harrison calls out sexist UFC fan over 'disrespectful' question

UFC 300 featured one of the greatest knockouts of all time on Saturday, as Max Holloway faceplanted Justin Gaethje in the final second of their ‘BMF’ title fight.

Holloway outclassed Gaethje for five rounds before capping off a stunning performance with a mesmerising KO, which left Gaethje out cold, face-first on the canvas.

With that, Hawaiian Holloway took the ‘Baddest Motherf***er’ belt from the American, while the other title fights at UFC 300 saw the champions retain.

In the main event, Alex Pereira knocked out Jamahal Hill in round one to remain champion at 205lbs, after the co-main event saw Zhang Weili outpoint fellow Chinese fighter Yan Xioanan to keep the strawweight gold.

UFC 300 LIVE: Cody Garbrandt vs Deiveson Figueiredo

UFC 300 is officially under way! Welcome to our live fight coverage!

First up, former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt faces ex-flyweight champ Deiveson Figueiredo.

In the article below, Will Castle looks at the rise and fall of Garbrandt, whose bantamweight title win in 2016 was a false dawn for the American. Garbrandt has struggled in the cage in the years since, and he faces a tough test against Figueiredo tonight.

This is a frankly outrageous bout to have as the first prelim. But such is the depth of this card...

UFC 300 LIVE

UFC 300 is upon us, as one of the biggest fight events in recent years plays out in Las Vegas – and the card is stacked from the very first fight to the last.

In the main event, former middleweight champion Alex Pereira defends the light-heavyweight title against his predecessor Jamahal Hill, who vacated the belt due to injury last year. Beforehand, in the co-main event, Zhang Weili puts her strawweight gold on the line against Yan Xiaonan, in the first all-Chinese title fight in UFC history.

Those bouts follow the fans’ pick for fight of the night, as Justin Gaethje faces Max Holloway. Gaethje defends the ‘Baddest Motherf***er’ title against the ex-featherweight champion, as the pair meet at lightweight.

Prior to those fights, Charles Oliveira takes on Arman Tsarukyan in a crucial clash at 155lbs, and ex-champions Jiri Prochazka, Aljamain Sterling, Holly Holm and Jessica Andrade all feature – as do Deiveson Figueiredo and Cody Garbrandt, in the card’s opening bout.
