Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway are at the peak of their powers in this rare meeting of old and new. Topuria makes his first UFC featherweight title defense at UFC 308 on Oct. 28 as Holloway looks to become a two-time champion.
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.
Elsewhere, former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker meets Khamzat Chimaev in the co-main event. Chimaev has long been tabbed a future UFC champion but various health issues have slowed his momentum. Fans are crossing their fingers that Whittaker vs. Chimaev comes to fruition after their June fight was canceled.
