UFC 308 Post-Fight Show: Did Ilia Topuria Lock Up Fighter of the Year with Astonishing Max Holloway Knockout?
Ilia Topuria may have just locked up the Fighter of the Year. On Saturday night in Abu Dhabi, Topuria became the first man to ever knock out Max Holloway, finishing him with punches in the third round of the UFC 308 main event. Following Saturday’s pay-per-view event, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to Topuria’s astonishing performance and where this puts him not only in the Fighter of the Year conversation, but in the pound-for-pound mix. On top of that, MMA Fighting discusses Khamzat Chimaev breaking Robert Whittaker’s jaw with a brutal submission and whether that allows him to leapfrog Sean Strickland for a middleweight title shot, Magomed Ankalaev’s workmanlike win over Aleksandar Rakic, the judging controversies that riddled the rest of the card, and much more.
