Max Holloway and Ilia Topuria head to UFC 308 this weekend. Here are all the details about the Abu Dhabi undercard.
Max Holloway vs Ilia Topria
Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway will appear on the UFC 308 cards this weekend with the UFC Featherweight Championship belt on the winner’s line.
Topuria currently holds the belt and gets caught up in Saturday night’s fight as a clear favorite against Holloway. The Spaniard is still undefeated in his UFC career, protecting his belt for the first time.
“Elmatador” was last seen at UFC 298, winning with a commander’s performance against Alexander Volkanovsky, knocking out Australia midway through the second round.
Holloway represents a similar type of test for Volkanovski. He is another UFC veteran looking to take on undefeated champion Topuria.

Holloway’s final fight was at the UFC 300 in April, with a victory over Justin Gösche winning him the BMF champion.
The 32-year-old defeated Gaethje with arguably the best knockout of all time, taking only one second in the final round.
Holloway will gain a lot of fans to knock out Gaethje, but Topuria is a younger and more skilled opponent and can pose more serious problems.
