UFC 308 Time: When Does Topuria vs Holloway Start in UK and US This Weekend?
This weekend, Ilia Topuria is set to defend his featherweight title against Max Holloway in a highly-anticipated title fight at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi. The fight will mark Topuria’s first defense of the belt, which he claimed from Alexander Volkanovski with a brutal knockout earlier this year. Making history, Topuria became the first fighter of Spanish or Georgian heritage to hold a UFC title, and he remains undefeated.
On the other side, Holloway has been on a mission to reclaim the featherweight title he lost to Volkanovski in 2019. Despite two rematches with the Australian, Holloway has yet to regain the title. However, he has shown resilience and skill in his fights, including a dominant performance against Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 where he secured a knockout win in the final seconds.
