Stream information, start time, updates and results as Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway compete in Abu Dhabi

It’s a massive fight day in Abu Dhabi as the featherweight title hangs on the line between one of MMA’s fastest-rising stars and a legend of the division.

Ilia Topuria is defending the belt for the first time since knocking out Alexander Volkanovski against former champion Max Holloway in February. The Hawaiian moved up to lightweight and took the BMF belt from Justin Gaethje in a stunning knockout at UFC 300. Now he is looking for another title again.

In the co-main event, Khamzat Chimaev is back and faces his toughest challenge yet as he takes on Robert Whittaker in what could turn out to be a middleweight decider. Sean Strickland will have something to say about that, but there’s certainly a lot at stake in this important middleweight clash.

The card is filled from top to bottom with fun encounters that will delight fans in the Middle East and those watching at a special start time of 10 a.m. Eastern Time. The focus of the preliminary rounds is a welterweight bout between the hard-hitting Geoff Neal and former lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos.

And on the main card, fan favorite Shara Magomedov is back in action against Armen Petrosyan. Directly above him is a light heavyweight title eliminator between Alex Pereira’s great rival Magomed Ankalaev and Aleksandar Rakic.
