UFC 299 is scheduled to be held inside the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida on March 9, 2024. The event will be headlined by a UFC Bantamweight Championship fight between titleholder Sean O’Malley and Marlon “Chito” Vera. Also set for the card is a heavyweight tilt between Jailton Almeida and Curtis Blaydes, and a lightweight clash between Mateusz Gamrot and Rafael dos Anjos.
Page had been testing the free agent market after his time with Bellator MMA came to a close. “MVP” even teased signing with the PFL by staring down with Cedric Doumbe, but he has ultimately signed with the UFC. Holland will look to give Page a rude welcome after he saw his two-fight winning streak crumble due to a split decision loss to Jack Della Maddalena.
Speaking of Maddalena, his scheduled clash against Gilbert Burns is pivotal for the 170-pound division. Della would be one step closer to a title shot with a win over Burns, but “Durinho” has other plans. Song Yadong vs. Petr Yan was expected by fans, as Yan implied that Yadong’s unanimous decision win over Chris Gutiérrez was boring. Ian Garry and Geoff Neal certainly have some bad blood, as “The Future” wore a shirt with Neal’s mugshot on it.
