Each fighter brings a unique story of resilience, skill, and sheer determination to the octagon. Here’s a closer look at the remarkable journeys of these UFC 300 Champions as they prepare to etch new chapters in their storied careers. UFC 300 Champions Cody Garbrandt Once known as "No Love," Cody Garbrandt’s meteoric rise through the bantamweight ranks captured the hearts of UFC fans worldwide. With a blend of charisma and devastating power, he clinched the title with a memorable victory over Dominick Cruz. Despite setbacks at the hands of TJ Dillashaw and a brief venture into the flyweight class, Garbrandt has rebounded strongly at 135 pounds, setting his sights on former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo in a highly anticipated matchup. Deiveson Figueiredo Deiveson Figueiredo’s journey from UFC debutant at UFC 212 to flyweight champion is a testament to his explosive fighting style and resilience. Although a misstep at the scales initially denied him the title, he later secured the championship in a rematch with Joseph Benavidez. Now competing at bantamweight, Figueiredo remains a formidable force, eager to assert his dominance against Garbrandt. Jéssica Andrade Jéssica Andrade has faced a who’s who of the UFC’s strawweight and flyweight divisions, capturing the strawweight title in a thrilling fashion by defeating Rose Namajunas. Known for her power and ferocity, Andrade has remained a formidable contender across weight classes and now looks to make waves against Marina Rodriguez. Holly Holm The world-class boxer turned MMA superstar, Holly Holm made headlines worldwide with her stunning knockout of Ronda Rousey to claim the women’s bantamweight title. Despite ups and downs in subsequent title bids, Holm’s pedigree remains undisputed as she prepares to face off against Olympic judoka Kayla Harrison in a compelling bout. Aljamain Sterling Aljamain "Funk Master" Sterling’s tenure in the UFC has been marked by a steady ascent to the top of the bantamweight division, culminating in a title win over Petr Yan. After a heartbreak at UFC 292, Sterling is set to make his featherweight debut against Calvin Kattar, bringing his technical prowess and experience to a new weight class. Jiří Procházka The enigmatic Jiří Procházka burst onto the UFC scene with his unorthodox style and quickly captured the light heavyweight title. His reign was cut short by injury, but Procházka remains a top contender, facing Aleksandar Rakic in a highly anticipated return to action. Charles Oliveira Dubbed "Do Bronx," Charles Oliveira’s transformation from a featherweight contender to lightweight champion is one of the UFC’s great narratives. With the most finishes and submission wins in UFC history, Oliveira’s next challenge comes against the up-and-coming Arman Tsarukyan, in a bout that could redefine his legacy. Max Holloway Max "Blessed" Holloway’s record-setting run in the featherweight division has made him a legend of the sport.

This landmark event promises to be more than just a celebration of the sport's growth—it's also a showcase for groundbreaking gear designed to enhance fighter safety and performance. The new gloves, dubbed "UFC Elite," feature several advanced technological improvements aimed at providing athletes with better protection and increased flexibility during matches. Developed with input from numerous fighters and sports scientists, these gloves include reinforced padding around the knuckles and wrist areas, ensuring maximum impact absorption and reducing the risk of injuries. One of the standout features of the UFC Elite gloves is their ergonomic design. The gloves are tailored to fit the natural curvature of the fighters’ hands, which helps maintain a comfortable, snug fit throughout bouts. This design not only prevents the gloves from shifting during intense exchanges but also aids fighters in executing more precise and powerful strikes. UFC President Dana White expressed his enthusiasm about the new gear at the launch event, stating, “Safety and performance are always our top priorities at the UFC. With the UFC Elite gloves, we’re taking these elements to a whole new level. These gloves are a game-changer for our athletes and the sport itself.” The introduction of the UFC Elite gloves follows a series of safety and equipment enhancements the organization has implemented over the years. As MMA continues to evolve, the UFC remains at the forefront, consistently pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the sport.

As fighters gear up to step into the Octagon with these new gloves, fans can look forward to even more thrilling and safe performances. The new UFC Official Fight Glove will be manufactured by Dyaco , UFC’s official combat and fitness equipment supplier. “Today marks a significant milestone in Dyaco's history, with the unveiling of the UFC 5Eight and 3Eight Official Fight Gloves,” said Allen Ting, Chief Strategy Officer Dyaco International Inc. “This revolutionary glove design, developed in close collaboration with seasoned UFC fighters and top engineers, is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the world of combat sports. As these innovative gloves make their debut in the Octagon, we are thrilled to bring a new level of protection and performance to fighters.

Fans who purchase the gloves as memorabilia will be able to scan the chips via the official UFC website to view and verify the authenticity of the gloves and any history that is associated with them. Vechain’s proprietary NFC chip technology authenticates the gloves, and if fight worn, the athlete that used them and the bouts they were used in. “This integration is a watershed moment in not only VeChain’s partnership with UFC but also in redesigning the blueprint for community engagement,” said Sunny Lu, CEO of VeChain . “This application showcases to a global audience the tangible, real-world benefits of our technology, further bridging two brands with their loyal and growing communities. The digital certificate minted on the VechainThor blockchain linked with the glove’s NFC chip will be in the form of a token securely stored, ensuring it is unique, verifiable, and authentic - opening up a world of verified fan memorabilia to relive cherished memories.” Athletes are expected to debut the new UFC Official Fight Gloves in competition at UFC® 302 on Saturday, June 1 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

- Marina Rodriguez Keeps Her Eyes on the Prize at UFC 300, Even While Rocking Social Media!
Recently, Marina Rodriguez assured her followers on social media that her increased online activity would not detract from her primary focus on training and competing at UFC 300. "My main focus remains on training and fighting." Rodriguez, recognized for both her stoic demeanor and fighting skill, felt it necessary to confirm that her career priorities remain unchanged.

Over the past six years, Rodriguez has consistently performed in main events, securing victories against prominent fighters like Mackenzie Dern and Amanda Ribas. Despite a close split decision loss to Carla Esparza, she has proven her potential to vie for the championship, especially with a recent win over Yan Xiaonan. Rodriguez is determined to keep pushing toward a title shot, energized by competing on the same card as Xiaonan. "It's extra motivation to showcase my skills and win," she shared with UFC.com . Her next challenge is Jéssica Andrade, a seasoned opponent known for her dynamic fighting style and string of performance bonuses. Rodriguez, who has previously trained with Andrade and shares a manager with her, remarked on the intriguing aspects of facing someone so familiar. "We've analyzed each of her fights in detail," she noted, expressing excitement about deciphering the strategies of their upcoming bout. As they prepare to face off on the undercard of the star-studded UFC 300 event, Rodriguez is confident of making an impact, recalling how she previously outshone Conor McGregor at UFC 257. "Great cards inspire me to perform at my best," she concluded, hinting at the possibility of earning another fight night bonus with her performance.

- Jiří Procházka's Back in the Game: Chasing UFC Glory and a Shot at Redemption at UFC 300
Jiří Procházka, once at the pinnacle of the light heavyweight division, is on a determined path to reclaim his former glory at UFC 300 following his first UFC defeat. In June 2022, Procházka seized the title with a dramatic submission victory over Glover Teixeira at UFC 275. However, an injury sustained during the fight sidelined him and eventually forced him to relinquish the title without defending it. After a 17-month hiatus, Procházka returned to the Octagon at UFC 295, facing Alex Pereira for the vacant title. Despite high hopes, his quest was thwarted by a second-round stoppage at Madison Square Garden, marking his first loss since 2015. This setback has propelled him to critically assess his performance and strategize for a triumphant return. Procházka remains optimistic, viewing setbacks as learning opportunities. He expressed dissatisfaction with his last performance and is eager to demonstrate his improved skills against Aleksandar Rakic at UFC 300. Rakic, a formidable opponent with a unique mix of striking and wrestling, represents a critical test for Procházka’s evolved fight strategy. UFC 300 not only provides Procházka with a chance to showcase his talent but also serves as his debut competition at the T-Mobile Arena. This event, featuring the most stacked card in UFC history, offers him the perfect platform to prove his resilience and professional calm under pressure. The fight against Rakic is set before the main event, where Pereira will defend the title against Jamahal Hill, the title that Procházka once held. Intrigued by the outcome, Procházka is eyeing a potential rematch with the winner, aiming to reclaim the championship. Determined to dazzle at UFC 300, Procházka is not only looking to win but to dominate, setting the stage for a championship pursuit. His journey back to the top reflects his resolve to excel and, ultimately, to be recognized once again as the world's best light heavyweight.
