The
Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight title will be on
the line when the UFC returns to Abu Dhabi.
Main eventers Ilia
Topuria and Max
Holloway both successfully made weight during the
UFC 308 weigh-ins. As did the rest of the card, which includes
a highly-anticipated fight between Khamzat
Chimaev and Robert
Whittaker at middleweight. The event will officially move
forward with 13 fights in total.
Topuria (15-0) will put both his undefeated record and
featherweight championship on the line. „El Matador“ is a perfect
7-0 inside the Octagon and is coming off a stunning knockout win
over Alexander
Volkanovski to claim the belt. The 27-year-old also holds wins
over Josh Emmett,
Bryce
Mitchell and Ryan Hall.
Topuria weighed 145 pounds on the dot for his second pay-per-view
main event.
Meanwhile, Holloway (26-7) will be looking to reclaim the belt he
lost to Volkanovski in 2019. „Blessed“ has shown he has plenty left
in the tank since then, knocking out Justin
Gaethje at lightweight while turning away featherweight
contenders such as Chan Sung
Jung, Arnold
Allen and Yair
Rodriguez. The 32-year-old Hawaiian also weighed 145 pounds
exactly.
UFC 308 has an early start time of 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT for the
prelims and 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT for the pay-per-view main card. It
will air in its entirety on ESPN+.
