BRAND already advanced it: Ilia Topuria He will be at UFC 300 as a special Alex Reed. His first UFC event as featherweight champion. And there he was, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, prepared to experience an evening that would be historic on a card with 12 champions (or former champions), three titles at stake and 16 ranked fighters. The Hispanic-Georgian, following a few days of rest in Miami, was ‘closer’ to the octgon once more.
And there he encountered the spectacular KO of Max Holloway. One of the images not of the night… but of recent years. The American, who had won the fight, went looking for the KO… and he achieved it at the last second! Spectacular.
As we already explained, These days the first conversations might have taken place in order to know Ilia Topuria’s next rival in the UFC. It’s early and depends on many factors, such as the fact that there will be no UFC Spain in 2024 (it seems almost certain, yes in 2025).
Holloway, who challenged him, aims to be that rival… we will see when and where.
