UFC 300 could feature a blockbuster champion vs. champion super-fight.

The UFC extravaganza is set to place in Las Vegas, Nevada, on April 13, 2024.

Dana White has teased an 'insane' card, promising to blow people's minds with the first prelim of the night.

He has guaranteed Jim Miller a spot on the event, with the veteran fighter competing at UFC 100 and UFC 200.

UFC stars, including Conor McGregor, are also calling for a spot on the card, which could feature a massive champion vs. champion showdown.

That's because UFC women's strawweight title holder Zhang Weili has called out UFC women's flyweight queen Alexa Grasso to a fight at UFC 300.

On Instagram, she wrote: "Hi champion. Maybe the fans want to see us fight at UFC 300."

To which the Mexican fighter replied: "I admire you so much! And I'd love to defend my title with you. Would you make 125?"

With White hyping up UFC 300, a champion vs. champion bout in Grasso vs. Weili could be the perfect fight for the monster bill.

The Chinese superstar hasn't fought since defending her title against Amanda Lemos at UFC 292 last August.

As for Grasso, she retained her belt after drawing with Valentina Shevchenko last September.

Speaking during UFC 296 fight week, the UFC CEO talked up next year's show as he plans to put together a huge card.

"The difference between a 300 is - listen, if you look at the card this weekend, this card is awesome," he told TNT Sports.

"You want to build these amazing cards that make people lose their minds, but there’s also so much more to it with a 300.

"There’s this whole what is the feel of the show going to be. We put on a live event and a television show, too, and what are we going to build around the event?"

The 54-year-old added: "What’s going to make 300 more special than this Saturday night, the last pay-per-view of the year. So, there’s a lot more that goes into it than just the card, but what you can expect is the first prelim of the night for you to be going like, 'Holy sh*t, this is the first prelim of the night? This is insane. This isn’t even right. These two shouldn’t be on the first prelim of the night.' That’s how good 300 is going to be."
