How to watch UFC 308 tonight: Ilia Topuria vs Max Holloway channel and start time

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. It's safe to say that the card is packed from start to finish. The co-main event features former champion Robert Whittaker squaring off against undefeated sensation Khamzat Chimaev in a tantalising middleweight clash.

Also on the main card, Magomed Ankalaev will face Aleksandar Rakic - with the victor potentially set to challenge for Alex Pereira's light-heavyweight title next. Here's all you need to know about tonight's bouts....
