BMF titleholder Max Holloway doesn’t seem keen on accepting Ilia Topuria’s invitation for a wild slugfest in the opening seconds of their UFC 308 headliner.
Holloway and Topuria will square off in the UFC 308 main event on Saturday in Abu Dhabi. Topuria will make his first UFC featherweight title defense against the former champion Holloway, who returns to 145lbs after finishing Justin Gaethje at UFC 300.
Tensions have ramped up between Holloway and Topuria in recent weeks leading up to one of the most highly anticipated fights of the year. Topuria has his eyes on the fastest knockout in UFC history against Holloway, who has never lost by TKO/KO in his professional career.
