There will be fights for two championship belts among the many current and previous champions on the 300th pay-per-view show of the UFC, which is being celebrated. Champion after champion appears at UFC 300. The 300th pay-per-view card of the Ultimate Fighting Championship features combatants that serve as a reminder to fans of the brutal and frequently bizarre reality of mixed martial arts. Twelve fighters in the 13 bouts on the UFC 300 card have held a UFC title at some point in their careers. This is a great way to promote the pay-per-view, which can be purchased in the US for $79.99 with an ESPN+ subscription, and it also serves as a timely reminder of how difficult it is to win a title and capitalize on the fame that comes with it. The current light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereira, rose to prominence in a bigger class by positioning himself as a counterbalance to Israel Adesanya, one of the greatest names in the sport.

Sunday's NFL games could be significantly impacted by a "potential tropical cyclone" building in the Atlantic Ocean, which could bring strong winds and rain to the fields and spectator areas.
On Thursday, the National Hurricane Center warned that a "life-threatening storm surge" was probable for parts of the Southeast and mid-Atlantic coasts and issued a tropical storm warning for parts of the East Coast as a result.
The storm's potential consequences, according to the center, could start on Friday and last through the weekend as it advances north.
"Heavy rainfall from this system could produce localized urban and small stream flooding impacts across the eastern mid-Atlantic states from North Carolina to New Jersey Friday through Sunday," the center warned.
Three NFL games set to begin Sunday afternoon could be affected by the storm, if the current forecast holds true:

How will a potential tropical storm effect NFL games?
Although the strong winds are expected to diminish by the time kickoff occurs, Sunday's weather might still be unfavorable for teams and spectators.
The Bills-Commanders and Colts-Ravens games should dodge the worst of the anticipated storm, with "the worst of the rain" on Saturday night, according to John Feerick, senior meteorologist at AccuWeather, who spoke to USA TODAY Sports.
There may still be some rain in the area. I don't think we're necessarily talking about a windswept rain or anything like that during the day at that point, according to Feerick, as the storm will have lost a significant amount of its wind power.
The Jets and Patriots might not have ideal circumstances at MetLife Stadium, Feerick added.
The Patriots-Jets game on Sunday, he said, "is probably a game that's potentially more impacted by rain and potentially a windswept rain." Certainly, there is yet time for things to change.
