Get UFC 308 live results for the Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway event on Saturday at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria defends his title for the first time against former champion Max Holloway in the main event.
Topuria and Holloway collide in a five-round 145-pound contest. Undefeated as a mixed martial artist, Topuria is a perfect 7-0 under the UFC banner and earned the belt in February with a monster second-round knockout of longtime champion Alexander Volkanovski. He now faces a tough test in Holloway, another former featherweight titleholder who scored what will likely be 2024's Knockout of the Year with a literal last-second stoppage of Justin Gaethje to win the UFC's symbolic BMF title in April.

Ibo Aslan just SMASHED through Rafael Cerqueira in mere minutes. Just a hellacious beating. Aslan poured on unanswered offense along the fence until referee Marc Goddard saved Cerqueira. Stellar showcase performance for Turkey's best 205-pound prospect.

Last fight of the prelims up next! Light heavyweights, Ibo Aslan vs. Rafael Cerqueira.
Ah man. Rafael dos Anjos injures his left knee early in the first round. This one is already over. Dos Anjos says he heard it pop. Tough result for the former UFC lightweight champ.
Still round two and now Orolbai opens up a monstrous cut around Rebecki's own left eye! Blood spilling everywhere right now. This is madness. Looks like it was an accidental clash of heads that did it.
We're in round two and there is a massive mouse sprouting under Myktybek Orolbai's left eye. This is a bad one. The cageside doctor allows him to continue but there's no chance Orolbai can see well right now.
