UFC 308 live results – Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway: Updates, highlights, fight card, start time, prelims

A war of words will give way to an action-packed main event on Saturday. UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria and celebratory BMF titleholder Max Holloway collide on Saturday at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Topuria promises to stand in the center of the octagon, point to the mat and prostrate to usurp Holloway's iconic gesture. But for all its glory, Topuria vs. Holloway is one of the best fights a martial arts promotion can book. Topuria could become a modern legend killer if he consecutively defeats Alexander Volkanovski and Holloway, two of the three GOATs in the featherweight division with Jose Aldo. Holloway could cement his reputation as the best 145er of all time by winning the UFC title for a second time.

The co-main event on Saturday is almost as exciting as the headliner. Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker tests Khamzat Chimaev's seemingly limitless potential in a five-round non-title bout. The winner will be placed on the shortlist of middleweight title challengers. Magomed Ankalaev vs. Aleksandar Rakic ​​also has implications for the light heavyweight title.

CBS Sports will be with you all the way on Saturday, bringing you all the results and highlights from UFC 308 below. The main card begins at 2:00 p.m. ET on ESPN+ PPV, following the preliminary bouts at 10:00 a.m. ET.
