Dana White CONFIRMS first UFC 300 fight ahead of historic blockbuster card
DANA WHITE has confirmed the first star that will compete on the landmark UFC 300.
MMA’s elite promotion will close out 2023 with their 296th box office offering this weekend.
That will be headlined by a welterweight title fight between Brit Leon Edwards and Colby Covington on Sunday.
Momentum continues to build towards what promises to be an epic UFC 300 event in 2024.
And even though the date has yet to be confirmed, UFC president has confirmed that Jim Miller will definitely be on the card.
The American lightweight is currently pencilled in for his next fight on January 13 against Gabriel Benitez.
However, White has now announced the star’s spot on the upcoming extravaganza will be assured as long as he stays fit and healthy.
The 40-year-old, the younger brother of ex-UFC fighter Dan Miller, currently holds the UFC records for most bouts, most total wins, and the most wins in the lightweight division.
He beat Jesse Butler last time out in June via first round knockout to secure his 36th professional win out of his 54 bouts.
Seven of those victories have come via knockout, while another 19 have come through submission.

Even though no date has been set in stone, UFC 300 is expected to take place in the spring.
And, if the promotion keeps its traditional schedule of one PPV event a month, it looks set for mid-April.
But it may also end up taking place a month earlier if they hold two numbered cards as they did this March.
Previous landmark events UFC 100 and UFC 200 were both held in the promotion’s spiritual home of Las Vegas.
The former occurred at the Mandalay Bay Arena while the latter was held at the T-Mobile Arena.
And that makes it look increasingly likely that the T-Mobile Arena will be the venue for this historic card.
