Charles do Bronx opens the main card of the historic UFC 300; see the official fight order

Former lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg) and record holder for submissions and interruptions in the history of Ultimate, Charles of the Bronx was selected to open the main card of the history UFC 300 in a duel against Arman Tsarukyan on April 13th, in Las Vegas, in the United States. The official fight order was released by the organization during the broadcast of the UFC 299, last Saturday (10), and raised some questions from fans.

The main question concerns the fact that Charles of the Bronx and other former UFC champions and big names are behind, in order of importance on the card, BoNickal, promising middleweight (up to 83,9 kg), who is having only his third fight in the organization against the unranked Cody Brundage. The duel is, in fact, the only one in the entire event, which does not feature any athlete in the ranking of its category.
