Dana White, UFC CEO, confirmed previously reported information that a fight between Cody Garbrandt, a former UFC bantamweight champion, and Deiveson Figueredo, a former UFC flyweight champion, will open the program of the organization's 300th anniversary tournament, which will take place in night of April 14 in Las Vegas.

ā€œI want to host the best tournament in history. Every fight on the card now could be a main event on Fight Night or pay-per-view. The first fight of the preliminary card will begin with Garbrandt vs. Figueredo. What does this mean?,ā€ the Las Vegas Review-Journal quotes the functionary.

Let us remind you that Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler previously agreed to fight in the main fight of UFC 300.
