One of the most anticipated fights on paper headlines UFC 308 as Ilia Topuria takes on Max Holloway. This featherweight championship bout scheduled for five rounds is taking place Saturday, Oct. 26 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
Topuria (15-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) only became 145-pound champ this past February by knocking out Alexander Volkanovski, less than four years since making his UFC debut in October 2020. The fact that undefeated Topuria hasn’t made a single title defense hasn’t stopped him from talking a big game, and he expects to become the first fight to knock out Holloway.
Holloway (26-7 MMA, 22-7 UFC), a former UFC featherweight champ, has taken a long road back to a title shot after losing all three fights in a trilogy with Volkanovski. A lopsided win over Arnold Allen followed by back-to-back knockouts of Chan Sung Jung and Justin Gaethje have brought the Hawaiian back to this point.
Here are the walkout times for the UFC 308 main event between Topuria and Holloway.
