The UFC’s annual trip to Abu Dhabi for UFC 308 promised us answers to some massive questions. Ilia Topuria vs Max Holloway, current champ vs former champ in the main event, in the wake of Holloway’s legendary finish over Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 earlier this year was probably the most high level match up the promotion could hope to piece together, and they delivered an exceptional two-plus rounds before “El Matador” wrote another chapter in the history books of the UFC’s featherweight division.
Khamzat Chimaev was asked to prove his credibility as title contender by taking on future UFC Hall of Famer Robert Whittaker, and he passed the test with flying colors.
