The latest UFC PPV lands in Abu Dhabi on Saturday. Yas Island plays host to UFC 308 with a bevy of interesting matchups set to take place in the United Arab Emirates. The main event sees one of the best matchups the sport can make at present when featherweight champion Ilia Topuria puts his title on the line against former champion and current BMF titleholder Max Holloway.
Topuria (15-0) ended Alexander Volkanovski’s five-year title reign earlier this year, the only featherweight to beat Volkanovski. Topuria accomplished a feat that Holloway failed to do on three separate occasions. Equipped with terrifying power and submission skills, Spain and Georgia’s first UFC champion is ready to build his legacy.
Holloway has been the 1B at 145 pounds since first losing to Volkanovski in 2019. Since then, “Blessed” has bested everyone he’s fought in the division besides his fellow former champion. Riding a three-fight winning streak, including the 2024 Knockout of the Year frontrunner against Justin Gaethje in a lightweight BMF title fight.
The undercard features plenty of exciting matchups that should keep fans engaged leading up to the main event. Look no further than the co-main event when former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker takes on rising star Khamzat Chimaev. The two were originally expected to meet in June, but Chimaev fell “violently ill” just two weeks before the event and was forced to withdraw. Whittaker went on to make quick work on Ikram Aliskerov. Plus, Magomed Ankalaev and Aleksandar Rakic are set to throw down and hopefully get in line for a title shot at light heavyweight.
Below is the complete announced fight card for UFC 308 along with the latest odds. Check back all week long for the latest news, features and other content around this massive event.
