Fans now have a list of confirmed matchups for the historic UFC 300 pay-per-view, set to go down April. 14 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White took to social media on Thursday to reveal a trio of fights that will be featured on the much-anticipated card.

Former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka (29-4) will take on Aleksandar Rakic (14-3), former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling (23-4) will debut at featherweight against Calvin Kattar (23-7) and Bo Nickal (5-0) will toe the line with Factory X product Cody Brundage (10-5).

Prochazka is coming off a Round 2 technical knockout loss against Alex Pereira in their vacant light heavyweight title meeting at UFC 295. Rakic, on the other hand, will return to the Octagon following an ACL tear sustained in the final frame of his outing against Jan Blachowicz back in May 2022.

While Rakic was initially slated to face Blachowicz in a rematch at UFC 297, the bout was canceled after the Pole was forced to withdraw from the match due to a shoulder injury.

Sterling will make his featherweight debut against Boston's Calvin Kattar on the back of his title loss to Sean O'Malley at UFC 292. Meanwhile, Kattar will attempt to return to the win column having recorded back-to-back losses against Josh Emmett and Arnold Allen. In his meeting with Allen in October 2022, “The Boston Finisher” suffered a Round 2 TKO loss due to a knee injury which has kept him out of action ever since.

Finally, one of the most celebrated prospects in all of mixed martial arts, Bo Nickal will look to extend his record to 6-0 after recording his second Round 1 finish in the UFC against Valentine Woodburn at UFC 290. Nickal's scheduled opponent, Brundage, is currently on a two-fight winning streak having most recently recorded a slam knockout against Zachary Reese in the very first frame of their meeting on Dec. 2.
