Ilia Topuria delivered a spectacular performance to knock out Max Holloway and retain the undisputed UFC featherweight title at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi.

The fighters have all won “the fight before the fight” ahead of UFC 308, with all 26 fighters set for action successfully making weight for their respective matchups in Abu Dhabi.

Ilia Topuria’s challenge to Max Holloway to stand and bang in the middle of the cage in the opening 10 seconds of their UFC 308 title fight has drawn plenty of comment, and the reigning UFC featherweight champion thinks the former champ is shying away from the challenge.

Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway is gunning for his old title again, and he’s ready to take on the division’s newly-crowned champion Ilia Topuria at UFC 308.

Dan Hooker is a man with options. The Kiwi lightweight contender blasted his way into the division’s top five with his hard-earned victory over Mateusz Gamrot at UFC 305 last weekend, and now finds himself in a position where a number of big fights could be available to him.

When Dana White remarked on Tuesday night at the post-fight press conference for Dana White’s Contender Series that Conor McGregor would not be fighting this year, thoughts immediately turned to the man who has patiently been waiting for the Irishman to get fit, get ready and get a bout agreement signed.
