Ilia Topuria will wear custom red-and-yellow shorts featuring bulls for his first UFC featherweight title defense against Max Holloway at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi.
Ilia Topuria’s gearing up for his first UFC featherweight title defense, and he’s going all out with custom gear. Next weekend at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, he’ll sport shorts that scream Spain—red and yellow with bulls on the side. Talk about making a statement, right?
The showdown is against none other than Max Holloway, the former champ and current “BMF” titleholder. It’s all set to go down at the Etihad Arena, with ESPN+ pay-per-view bringing it live to fans worldwide. Exciting stuff!
Oh, and if you’re curious about those shorts, you can check ’em out below. They’re pretty slick.
Topuria’s been on fire since joining the UFC back in October 2020. He’s racked up seven straight wins, including a jaw-dropping knockout of Alexander Volkanovski to snag the 145-pound belt at UFC 298. Impressive streak!
On the flip side, Holloway’s no stranger to victory either. With a record of 26-7, he’s taken down legends like Jose Aldo, Anthony Pettis, and Frankie Edgar. He recently re-entered the featherweight title scene by claiming the BMF belt from Justin Gaethje in an unforgettable lightweight clash at UFC 300 last April.
This fight promises fireworks!
