In the main event of UFC 308, featherweight champion Ilia Topuria did something no other man had done before. In the third round of his title defense, Topuria became the first man to knock out former champion Max Holloway.

It was an emphatic victory to leave no doubt that Topuria is the baddest man in the division.

His win at UFC 308 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi was his second straight knockout win over a legendary former champion. He previously defeated Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298.
