UFC CEO Dana White, never one for holding back, has been calling tomorrow night’s UFC 300 lineup the greatest card ever assembled. White said every fight on the card could be a main event Fight Night or a pay-per-view.

The event will be held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with 12 current or former champions on the card, 18 ranked fighters and 7 pound-for-pound ranked fighters.

We’ll focus on the main card: Alex Pereira versus Jamahal Hill in the light heavyweight title bout, Zhang Weili versus Yan Xiaonan in the women’s strawweight title bout, Justin Gaethje versus Max Holloway in a lightweight bout, Charles Oliveira versus Arman Tsarukyan in a lightweight bout, and Bo Nickal versus Cody Brundage in a middleweight bout.

Interesting most bet (tickets props) insights, so far, according to BetMGM: Oliveira by KO/TKO or DQ (8.00); Pereira by KO/TKO or DQ (2.00); Brundage by KO/TKO or DQ (21.00); Holloway by KO/TKO or DQ (7.50); and Weili by KO/TKO or DQ (2.25).

In terms of betting insights, spokesperson for PointsBet Canada tells us 64% of bets are on Pereira, but 77% of the money is on Hill. On props they are seeing 67% of the money on Pereira KO/TKO. Eighty per cent of the money is on Holloway in the fight with Gaethje.

⭐ Bet on UFC 300 at DraftKings ⭐

Over at DraftKings, most bet fighters (by handle) are Pereira, Oliveira, Gaethje, Holloway, and Jiri Prochazka (in a light heavyweight prelim bout against Aleksandar Rakic). By bets it’s Weili, Oliveira, Aljamain Sterling (in a prelim featherweight bout versus Calvin Kattar), Pereira, and Prochazka.

Across the series of markets available for the UFC 300, The FanDuel Canada Trading Team is seeing the most interest on Charles Oliveira v Arman Tsarukyan match, closely followed by Bo Nickal v Cody Brundage, and Justin Gaethje v Max Holloway.

According to a spokesperson from 888 Sport: “Betting hasn’t really picked up pace yet to be honest but would expect it to be big turnover. Oliveira and Holloway popular as underdogs. Bo Nickal one of the shortest prices we’ve seen at 1/25. Periera the more popular in the main event with bettors so far.”

The early prelims and prelim fights are available on Sportsnet, starting at 6 p.m. EST. The main card, starting at 10 p.m. EST, is on pay-per-view. Other betting insights on UFC 300 from BetMGM this morning:
