In the recent UFC 298 tournament, Ilia Topuria claimed the championship belt in the featherweight division by defeating Alexander Volkanovski in the second round.

Following this event, UFC President Dana White announced on his social media page that at the upcoming milestone event UFC 300, scheduled for April 13th in Las Vegas, USA, the UFC light heavyweight champion, Brazilian Alex Pereira, will face American athlete Jamal Hill.
