At UFC 298 back in February, Ilia Topuria stunned the world by knocking out five-time defending featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski, handing “The Great” his first ever loss in the weight class.
Now, making the first defense of his newly-acquired strap, the Spaniard will attempt to take down another all-time great in the division when he battles Hawaiian boxing ace Max Holloway at UFC 308. Heading into his first bout as champion, Topuria absolutely exudes confidence, with him even boasting that he will be the first man to finish “Blessed” by knockout.
