In one of the most eagerly awaited UFC fights of the year, Ilia Topuria will defend his featherweight title against Max Holloway tonight. 'El Matador' has been a revelation since joining the UFC four years ago.
With an unbeaten professional record of 15-0, the 27 year old secured his first UFC world title fight after a commanding performance against Josh Emmett last year.
Remarkably, he went on to unseat Alexander Volkanovski in February, knocking out the featherweight legend in the second round.
In this first defence of his title, he faces a stern challenge in 'Blessed'. Holloway achieved the most notable win of his MMA career at UFC 300 when he knocked out Justin Gaethje.
