That was a nice counter left hook from Max
— caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) October 26, 2024
Immediately Holloway throws a body jab, which opens him to Ilia‘s power overhand right. That’s a specific expolit I mentioned on my podcast. Max needs to be more careful about that. #UFC308

His nickname is The Matador, but Topuria is most successful when he's the bull.
He backs his opponents up and when he gets them cornered, he mauls them.

Ilia Topuria may have stolen Fighter of the Year from Alex Pereira.
To knock out Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway in the same calendar year, much less at all, is insane.

I personally don't need Topuria-Volk 2, but I'd gladly watch Topuria vs. Lopes while Makhachev-Armen 2 is settled. If both defend, that's a super fight that feels deserved.

Neither Volkanovski or Holloway had been stopped by strikes at featherweight and Topuria stopped them both in back to back fights.
A strong case for Fighter of the Year.
