This Friday, Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway gave the exact agreed weight of 65.8 kg for their fight at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, which will be the main fight of the event. The Hispanic-Georgian, with an impressive record of 15 wins and 0 losses, will defend his featherweight world champion title for the first time against the Hawaiian, who has a 26-7 record in the UFC, with 9 wins by KO.
Holloway’s place as Topuria’s challenger was decided after his victory against the American Justin Gaethje, whom he knocked out after a tremendous exchange of blows in the final seconds of the duel between the two on April 14.
After the weigh-in this Friday, it has been made official that everything is in order to experience the electrifying confrontation this coming Saturday around 11 p.m. at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, just after the classic at the Santiago Bernabéu. It can be followed through the Eurosport platform.
Topuria’s fight against Holloway comes after a long exchange of statements by both in recent months, which have intensified in the previous weeks. The Hispanic-Georgian has declared his intention to fight the first seconds of the first round in the center of the octagon.
“My victory is going to be in the first round. With Volkanovski it was in the second, but he is not going to withstand the pressure that I am going to provide him from the first round. He has never been knocked out because he has not faced anyone with the power that I have in my hands,” Topuria warned Holloway.
