Who is on the UFC 308 Main Card?
The following five fights are on the UFC 308 main card:
- Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway – Featherweight
- Robert Whittaker vs. Khamzat Chimaey – Middleweight
- Lerone Murphy vs. Dan Ige – Featherweight
- Magomed Ankalaev vs. Aleksandar Rakić – Light Heavyweight
- Sharabutdin Magomedov vs. Armen Petrosyan – Middleweight
Who is Most Likely to Win the Fight?
As a new, younger, and more confident champion, Topuria is the favorite to win the headline fight on October 26, 2024.
The 27-year-old proved his power when unloading his synonymous five-punch combo on Alex Volkanovski at UFC 298, helping him score an impressive knockout.
If anyone is going to shake Holloway’s iron chin, it could be “El Matador” with his undeniable power.
The stats prove he is tough in the Octagon, as Topuria has never experienced a KO loss during his 33 professional fights, and he is likely hoping UFC 308 is no exception.
However, Holloway continues to prove why he is a former champ. If you watched UFC 300, you would know he delivered one of the finest KOs in the sport’s history.
While he might be unable to match Topuria’s speed and power, he could stay in the fight with plenty of jabs and kicks, which could help him win on points and become champion once again. However, the odds don’t appear to be in his favor at present.
