While Dana White did confirm that UFC 300 will have no returning superstars like Ronda Rousey or Brock Lesnar, he did leave room for shocks and that’s exactly what he has now provided.

So far, the card features a plethora of current and former champions, with each matchup being considered huge in their respective divisions. Despite the card being one of the most stacked of all time, rumors suggest there is still no main event for April 13.

Dana White took to social media to announce the signing of PFL ace Kayla Harrison. The two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo is set to face former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm in a fight with serious title implications.

“Here’s another announcement for UFC 300. Holly Holm, she was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame of 2022,” White said. “In the history of the women’s bantamweight division, she is tied for the fourth most wins, sixth most significant strikes landed, and has the fourth best takedown defense at 78%.”

“Holly Holm is one of the baddest women to ever compete in combat sports, ever. She’s fought all the nastiest women in the world in boxing and in MMA, except for one.”

“Holly will be taking on the only person in US history to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals in judo. The UFC has officially signed Kayla Harrison.”

“Kayla Harrison is 16-1 with 12 finishes. Her takedowns [and] her ground-and-pound are nasty. And this will be the first time she will be competing at bantamweight.”

The Olympian has spent the majority of her career at lightweight and will now be jumping down an incredible two divisions to compete at UFC 300.

Despite losing a unanimous decision to Larissa Pacheco in 2022, Kayla Harrison is one of the best and most dominant women in mixed martial arts today.

Her grappling has been a problem for the very best women the PFL has to offer. If she goes out and puts on another highlight performance against Holly Holm at UFC 300, she could find herself within touching distance of Raquel Pennington’s newly acquired 135 lbs title.
