UFC 308 Countdown has arrived with a deeper look at the biggest fights taking place on Saturday from Abu Dhabi including the main event where Ilia Topuria puts his featherweight title on the line for the first time against former champion Max Holloway.
Undefeated in his career and coming off a devastating finish over Alexander Volkanovski in February, Topuria looks to add to his resume when he faces one of the best featherweights of all time. Since joining the UFC roster, Topuria has looked almost unstoppable but can he keep his momentum going against somebody like Holloway, who has never been finished with strikes and seemingly has a gas tank days.
Of course, Holloway seeks his second title reign at featherweight after coming up short in three past fights against Volkanovski. He earned this opportunity with a jaw-dropping finish over Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 but afterwards his only desire was going back to 145 pounds to reclaim the title he lost.
In the co-main event, former champion Robert Whittaker looks to get back into title contention when he takes on undefeated mauler Khamzat Chimaev. Whittaker has scored back-to-back wins to put himself in this position but he faces a tall task from Chimaev, who might be one of the most hyped prospects in the history of the sport.
Check out the UFC 308 Countdown to get an inside look at these two crucial fights and more.
