The UFC 308 main event will be held at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.

Undefeated in 15 pro MMA bouts, Topuria will be making his first defence of the UFC featherweight title he won with a sensational second-round KO win over Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298.
Topuria leads the way on the UFC 308 odds as a -250 favourite. Holloway lags as a +190 underdog, while the odds of this clash going a full five rounds are pegged at +120.
Bet on Topuria vs. Holloway at UFC 308
Ilia Topuria Odds
Ilia Toupuria has enjoyed success at every weight he has fought, earning wins as a bantamweight, lightweight, and featherweight while compiling an unblemished 15-0 record. The 27-year-old German has been particularly dominant since joining the UFC in 2020, posting seven straight victories including four KO wins, highlighted by his impressive knockout win over Volkanovski back in February that earned him the UFC featherweight title and a fourth straight performance bonus. While Topuria has gained a reputation as a heavy hitter while tallying five knockouts, he has also demonstrated his ability to tap out opponents by claiming submission victories inside two rounds in each of his first seven fights.
Max Holloway Odds
A huge fan favourite among UFC fans for over a decade, Max Holloway aims to complete a long road back to the top of the UFC featherweight division when he lost the title to Volkanovski in 2020. “Blessed” followed up with narrow defeats in two rematches with the former champion, but has otherwise maintained his dominant form with victories in his five other fights over that stretch, capped by KO wins over The Korean Zombie in August 2023 at UFC Singapore, followed by his recent victory over Gaethje. One of the most durable fighters to ever enter the octagon, Holloway is well known for his ability to endure massive punishment that has enabled him to avoid being knocked down or knocked out throughout his entire UFC career. However, he must do more than withstand what will likely be an aggressive bid to end things early by Topuria if he is to reclaim his crown.
Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway Prediction
It really is hard to fade such a great fighter as Max Holloway. Indeed, fans can expect Blessed to take everything that Topuria can throw at him. But as was the case in his final date with Volkanovski, Holloway faces a huge challenge to match Topuria’s devasting five-punch combos that will enable the champion to rack up a big advantage on points.
Prediction: Topuria by decision/technical decision (+250)
