Emerging middleweight and former collegiate wrestling start Nickal (5-0) looks to continue his rise up the ranks when he faces Brundage (10-5).
Nickal has been calling out many of the top dogs at 185-lbs and this could be his chance to make a statement on a big card.

A high-level light heavyweight clash between Procházka (29-4-1) and Rakić (14-3) has been locked in.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist (Judo) Harrison (16-1) has joined the UFC after establishing her complete MMA credentials as a two-time PFL champion.
In her first UFC fight, she'll take on fellow women's combat sports legend Holly Holm (15-6 (1)), a former UFC and boxing champion.

- Jéssica Andrade vs. Marina Rodriguez

- Jim Miller vs. Bobby Green
Miller (37-17 (1)) will become the only fighter to have appeared at UFC 100, UFC 200 and UFC 300 when he takes on the always-game Bobby Green (31-15-1 (1)) at lightweight.

A pair of former UFC champions meet in this potential Firestarter at bantamweight.

- Will Conor McGregor fight at UFC 300?
Nope. While many fans had hoped to see McGregor return at UFC 300, the Irishman won't be back in time.
Instead, McGregor was reportedly set to face Michael Chandler in International Fight Week in late June.
