UFC 308 LIVE: UK start time, stream and fight card for Ilia Topuria vs Max Holloway

Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway meet for the UFC featherweight title at the top of a packed card at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi tonight

Ilia Topuria puts his featherweight title on the line tonight when he defends his belt against Max Holloway in a guaranteed classic at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi.

Unbeaten Topuria became champion when he knocked out Alex Volkanovski in February to cement his place as one of the best fighters on the UFC roster. He will now take on former ruler Holloway who has won three fights back to back since losing his third fight against Volkanovski two years ago.

In the co-main event, Khamzat Chimaev returns to the cage after a 12-month absence as he takes on Robert Whittaker in a fight which should lead to a shot at the middleweight title next year. The fights will be streamed live on TNT Sports Box Office with the main event expected to start at around 10pm UK time, but you can follow them all right here...
