Topuria vs. Holloway Set for UFC 308 Showdown

Ilia Topuria, the UFC featherweight champion, is set to defend his title against Max Holloway at UFC 308. Topuria has expressed confidence in his superior cardio and underutilized ground game as key advantages against Holloway. Despite concerns about making the weight cut back to 145 pounds, Holloway, who recently returned to featherweight after a successful stint at lightweight, remains focused on reclaiming the title. His knockout victory over Justin Gaethje showcases his adaptability, although Topuria considers Holloway a natural lightweight. Meanwhile, Alexander Volkanovski hopes for a Holloway victory to set up a potential rematch. Topuria has also shown interest in moving up to the lightweight division, aiming for success across multiple weight classes.
