Topping the Sin City extravaganza is a light-heavyweight title fight between champion Alex Pereira and former titleholder Jamahal Hill.
Hill, 32, will be fighting for the first time since recovering from the horrific Achilles injury he suffered last July.
‘Sweet Dreams’ insists his recovery hasn’t been rushed and that he’s fighting fit.
But veteran UFC commentator Rogan can’t help but fear the Michigan mauler may be somewhat compromised
During a recent episode of his podcast, he said: “God damn it would suck if he came in at 70 per cent and not 100.
“Because the thing is, there’s got to be a lot of pressure to be on UFC 300.
“And you might be like, ‘I can do it, I can do it.’ I don’t know, I’m hoping it’s 100 per cent.”
Rogan, 56, hopes Hill did everything in his power to aid his recovery – including getting stem cell injections.

He continued: “I’m just hoping for sure they got him some stem cells.
“And I would imagine that he’s an elite UFC world championship calibre athlete [that he would’ve].”
“I just don’t want Jamahal to be compromised in any way. It’s such a big fight.”
Hill honourably vacated the 205lbs title shortly after his career-derailing injury.
Rogan said of the Dana White’s Contenders Series contract winner: “He’s the world champ, he just relinquished the title.
“He’s just fighting for his title essentially because he didn’t lose [it]
“I bet he only gave it up because Jiri gave it up. It’s kind of like a warrior’s code.
“Those guys are warriors. That’s a warrior’s division.”
