The Ultimate Fighting Championship looks to have yet another full-fledged European superstar on its hands at 145 pounds.
Ilia Topuria brought down Max Holloway with punches in the third round of their UFC 308 headliner, as he retained his undisputed featherweight championship on Saturday at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Stopped by strikes for the first time in his 34-fight career, Holloway (26-8, 22-8 UFC) met his end 1:34 into Round 3.
Topuria (16-0, 8-0 UFC) broke down the Hawaiian with leg kicks and right hands over the top.
