Why are there no womenās matches in the main cardā¦
I donāt recognize most of the names on the prelims but they sound male to me as well. And Iām not complaining!
Itās in Abu Dhabi so chimaev can fight. No women necessary in that part of the world. Leave your equality bullshit at the airport I guess.
I am really looking forward to this one.
Topuria is an outstanding grappler. First half of his career, he subbed everyone then suddenly he stopped subbing people and started KOing everyone.
Both guys are studs but I think Topuria will be the victor.
Make Gane vs Aspinall. Iām not sure Tim will win
After the zombie ko ive been waiting for someone to beat the fuck out of him.
Go max
The thing about Topuria is he hasnāt been taken into deep waters. Nobody has pushed him. I thought Volk could have been winning but that fight was short.
If anyone is gonna push him, it will be Max.
Rinat Fakhretdinov will fight at UFC 308 after all.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotionās plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that Fakhretdinov now faces UFC newcomer Carlos Leal at the Oct. 26 pay-per-view event in Abu Dhabi. Eurosport was first to report the booking.
Leal steps in for Nursulton Ruziboev, who was forced to withdraw from the bout for undisclosed reasons, making his octagon debut on a weekās notice. A seven-fight PFL veteran, with a 3-0 record competing for LFA, āThe Lionā made it to the playoffs for PFLās 2023 season, but was defeated by Sadibou Sy. Since then, Leal has finished his past two opponents in the first round.
Fakhretdinov is unbeaten inside the octagon and in his past 11 fights. The 33-year-old recently picked up a hard fought split decision win over Nicolas Dalby at Juneās UFC Saudi Arabia event.
UFC 308 is headlined by Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway for the UFC featherweight title.
Either Max beats him on the scorecard or Topuria finishes Max.
Most likely scenarios I can see.
