The UFC 308 gala will take place in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, with Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway meeting in the fight of the evening. At stake in the duel will be the UFC featherweight championship belt. Alexander Volkanovski has faced both Topuria and Holloway in the past.
The former champion of the up to 66 kilograms division analyzed the juxtaposition. Volkanovski is excited about this duel. Alex on his channel on the youtube platform pointed out the favorite in the Topuria vs Holloway clash.
– Ilia Topuria vs Max Holloway, this will be a great fight. I think I will bet on Max in it. A lot of people have asked me why I’m betting this way. Of course Ilia Topuria hit me, he captured me with a powerful punch. However, I believe that to win against Holloway he will have to do the same, and of course he can succeed.
In a lengthy statement, Volkanovski listed the advantages of Max Holloway. “The Great” appreciates the Hawaiian and it is in him that he sees the more versatile fighter in the main event of UFC 308.
– I think Max proves every time how excellent a fighter he is. We know that he has a great jaw. Even if Ilya violates Max I’m not convinced about knocking him out. Holloway is a fighter who constantly imposes pressure. He will go forward all the time and Topuria may have a problem with that in the later phase of the fight. Max Holloway is a true veteran, he has proven many times how good a fighter he is in every possible plane, I am surprised that he is an underdog. It seems to me that stylistically Max will be a difficult opponent for Ilia.
