UFC 308 Breakdown

 

UFC 308 is shaping up to be a night of intense action, high stakes, and pivotal matchups. Set in Abu Dhabi, the event on October 26, 2024, promises to be unforgettable with a thrilling lineup of fights that could shake up multiple divisions.

Main Event: Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway

The main event features a clash between the new king of the featherweight division, Ilia Topuria, and one of the sport's legends, Max Holloway. This fight is a perfect representation of a generational battle—Topuria, undefeated in his professional career, is known for his powerful striking and ability to mix grappling into his game seamlessly​


. He is the rising star ready to cement his legacy by taking down one of the toughest names in the UFC.

Holloway, on the other hand, is a former champion who has fought and beaten the best. His relentless striking, high volume of punches, and legendary cardio make him a threat in any five-round fight​

. The question is whether Holloway’s experience and endurance will outlast Topuria’s youth, power, and relentless pursuit of finishes. Will Holloway’s seasoned pace break down Topuria, or will the young champion deliver yet another knockout performance?

Co-Main Event: Robert Whittaker vs. Khamzat Chimaev

The co-main event features an equally thrilling matchup between former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and the rising phenom, Khamzat Chimaev. This fight was highly anticipated after being delayed earlier in the year. Whittaker, a veteran with some of the best technical striking and defensive skills in the division, is looking to climb back to the top​

. His adaptability, calmness under pressure, and fight IQ make him a dangerous opponent for anyone.

Chimaev, however, is a force of nature. His dominant wrestling, combined with knockout power, has made him a rising star in the UFC​


. This is his biggest test yet, as Whittaker presents a level of versatility and experience Chimaev hasn’t faced before. Will Chimaev’s aggressive wrestling and striking overwhelm Whittaker, or can “The Reaper” counter the rising star's pressure and derail the UFC's plans for Chimaev?

Other Fights to Watch

The rest of the UFC 308 card is stacked with exciting matchups. Lerone Murphy takes on Dan Ige in a pivotal featherweight contest, while Magomed Ankalaev, the top contender at light heavyweight, will battle Aleksandar Rakic​

. Ankalaev is looking to extend his unbeaten streak and move closer to a title shot, while Rakic hopes to bounce back after a tough couple of losses.

The depth of UFC 308 ensures that fans will witness both high-level technique and explosive finishes. With so much on the line, from title shots to divisional supremacy, this card is a must-watch for any MMA fan.

UFC 308 is more than just another event—it's a pivotal moment for several fighters' careers. Will the old guard hold strong, or will the new generation take over? Tune in to see how the action unfolds in Abu Dhabi.
