UFC 308: ‘Topuria vs. Holloway’ Live Results and Highlights

The Octagon returns to Abu Dhabi for today’s UFC 308 event, a 13-bout fight card headlined by Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway.

Topuria (15-0 MMA) will be looking to earn his first career title defense when he takes on the Hawaiian this afternoon. ‘El Matador’ captured the UFC’s coveted featherweight title this past February at UFC 298, scoring a second-round knockout victory over Alex Volkanovski (see that here).

Meanwhile, Max Holloway (26-7 MMA) will be competing for the first time since scoring his viral knockout over Justin Gaethje at April’s UFC 300 event. That victory earned ‘Blessed’ the promotion’s BMF belt, and he will now be looking to reclaim the featherweight title for the first time since 2019.

UFC 308 is co-headlined by a highly anticipated middleweight bout featuring former title holder Robert Whittaker taking on the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev.

Whittaker (26-7 MMA) will enter the contest on a two-fight winning streak, his latest being a first-round knockout victory over Ikram Aliskerov at June’s event in Saudi Arabia. Prior to that, ‘The Reaper’ had outpointed Paulo Costa at UFC 298.

Meanwhile, Khamzat Chimaev (13-0 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since scoring a majority decision win over Kamaru Usman one year ago at UFC 294. Prior to that razor thin victory, ‘Borz’ was coming off a first-round stoppage victory over Kevin Holland at UFC 279.

Also featured on today’s UFC 308 main card is a high stakes light heavyweight bout featuring Magomed Ankalaev taking on Aleksandar Rakic.

Ankalaev (18-1-1 MMA) will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since January of this year, where he earned a second-round knockout victory over Johnny Walker (see that here). The Russian standout will be looking to earn a title shot against Alex Pereira with an impressive showing this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Aleksandar Rakic (14-4 MMA) will enter today’s matchup with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid. ‘Rocket’ most recently competed at UFC 300, where he suffered a TKO loss to Jiri Prochazka.
