In Abu Dhabi, the stage is set for us to experience the history of Spanish mixed martial arts, with an exciting evening of UFC 308, which takes place this Saturday at the Etihad Arena and will feature the current UFC featherweight champion, Spaniard Ilia Topuria defending his world title against a sports legend like Max Holloway.
Until now, Topuria turned out to be incurable in the featherweight division, scoring big wins over Bryce Mitchell, Josh Emmett and, of course, former champion Alexander Volkanovski, a victory that helped establish El Matador as the monarch of the category. At 27 years old, Topuria remains undefeated in mixed martial arts and wants to maintain that aura of an undefeated champion.
Now to continue to expand my legacy, this Saturday I’ll have to beat Max Holloway“Blissful”. The Hawaiian fighter, a UFC legend, was crowned interim featherweight champion in 2016 and undisputed in 2017, a reign that lasted until 2019 when Volkanovski took the world title from him. At 32 years old, Holloway will be fighting his thirty-fourth professional fight, hoping to re-emerge as featherweight champion.
