UFC 308: Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway – Head to Toe Breakdown | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

The UFC 308 main event might be the best possible fight in all of MMA right now.

The card, taking place this Saturday in Abu Dhabi, will be topped by a featherweight title fight pitting champion Ilia Topuria against BMF champion and living MMA legend Max Holloway.

It’s a battle of generations. While the undefeated Topuria is only two years younger than his opponent, at 28 years old he has only fought seven fights in his UFC career. Holloway, on the other hand, has been with the UFC since 2012 and in that time has fought a staggering list of world-class opponents, including Dustin Poirier (twice), Conor McGregor, Cub Swanson, Charles Oliveira, Anthony Pettis, Jose Aldo, Brian Ortega, Frankie Edgar, Alexander Volkanovski, Yair Rodriguez, Chan Sung Jung and Justin Gaethje and has beaten all but a few of them.

It’s also an incredibly difficult fight. While Topuria is a slight favorite, he and Holloway are two of the fiercest strikers in MMA today and have also proven they can finish things on the canvas.
