Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) held its ceremonial weigh ins on Fri. morning for the upcoming UFC 308: “Topuria vs. Holloway” pay-per-view (PPV) event, locked and loaded for this Sat. (Oct. 26, 2024) at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE. All 26 fighters scheduled to compete on tomorrow’s fight card made weight — after a little tinkering behind the scenes.
That includes event headliners Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway. “El Matador” makes this first defense of his 145-pound title against “Blessed,” who is certainly no stranger to championship titles. In addition, ex-middleweight kingpin Robert Whittaker returns to battle local hero Khamzat Chimaev, who made weight with just minutes to spare.
