Jamahal Hill only knew about headlining UFC 300 a day before it was made public.
Dana White announced Saturday that Hill (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) will challenge light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira (9-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) April 13 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The UFC has been scrambling hard to find a main event for UFC 300, and according to Hill, he received a last-minute offer that he accepted.
