The Ultimate Fighting Championship is set to create history on Saturday (April 13) night when the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas plays host to the 300th numbered event - UFC 300: Pereira vs. Hill.

The historic event will be headlined by two world championship bouts with the BMF belt also on the line. The event will also see a fighter appear in the promotion's milestone for the third time in a row.

Over the years, the Octagon has travelled to several parts in the United States as well as outside the North American continent to host these numbered events. The journey started in Las Vegas and returns to the Sin City for yet another milestonic event.

Jim Miller will become the only fighter to have competed at all three milestone events for the organization, previously competing at UFC 100 and UFC 200. He will face Bobby Green in the early prelims.
