UFC 308 will take place in Abu Dhabi on October 26

The highlight of the program is undoubtedly the meeting between Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway. Ilia is the current champion, and Holloway is a former one. The two titans will have to decide in the octagon who will own the prestigious title next year.

The guests can also expect three more exciting fights - in the middleweight division Robert Whittaker vs. Khamzat Chimaev, in the heavyweight division Cyril Gan vs. Alexander Volkov, and in the light heavyweight division Magomed Ankalaev vs. Alexander Rakich.

Robert Whittaker vs. Khamzat Chimaev. The favorite of the meeting here is clearly Chimaev, who expects to get a title fight after defeating his opponent. The former middleweight champion Whittaker, however, is quite a serious opponent, and will not give up his lunch just like that. Chimaev has already fought Gilbert Bernos and Kamaru Umar for the status of a contender for the championship title. However, this did not bring any results to Chimaev. We will soon find out how the meeting with Whitaker will end.

But the announced meeting between Gane and Volkov will not take place at the tournament. The fight between Alexander Volkov and Cyril Gane was postponed due to the Russian's injury. This happened when Volkov was training before the fight. Now this fight will have to take place at the UFC 310 tournament, which is scheduled for December 7 in Las Vegas. It is not yet known who will replace the athletes at the October tournament. The UFC has not made any statements yet, and fans are wondering what to expect in the stands of the Etihad Arena.

In the summer, at the next tournament, Rakic ​​knocked out Jiri Prochazka, and now Alexander's only opponent in the heavyweight division is Magomed Ankalaev. The current champion of the light heavyweight division will have to confirm his title, and Ankalaev will challenge his opponent's leadership. But while there were rumors that this fight could also fall through – Ankalaev was expected to face Pereira at the start of next year, the UFC management announced that a meeting with Serbian-Austrian kicker Aleksandar Rokeach at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi was a done deal for Magomed.

Tickets are also already on sale for UFC 310, where Islam Magomaev will go out to confirm his lightweight title in a rematch with Arman Tsarukyan.
