This weekend (Sat., June 29, 2024) at UFC 303, the Light Heavyweight title is on the line in Las Vegas, Nevada at the T-Mobile Arena. Headlining the event will be the Light Heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, who seeks his second successful title defense against the man he won the title from, the former champion, Jiri Prochazka. The co-main event will see top Featherweight contenders collide as two-time title challenger, Brian Ortega, will look to halt the momentum of the rising Brazilian-Mexican star, Diego Lopes, who has been perfect inside the Octagon after his short notice debut in May 2023. A win for Lopes would launch him immediately into the Featherweight Top 3 and a possible shot at gold.
Also in attendance at today’s (Thurs., March 7, 2024) pre-fight press conference was the pair of No. 10-ranked contenders at Light Heavyweight and Middleweight. Anthony Smith and Roman Dolidze collide in a scattered match up sure to thrill while it lasts.
