Current featherweight champion, Ilia Topuria, hinted at a potential fight with former champion Max Holloway, potentially set for UFC 307. Topuria’s last match was in February at UFC 298, where he won by knockout against Alexander Volkanovski in the second round.
Holloway secured a fifth-round knockout victory over Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 in April, also earning the BMF championship. Both fighters are anticipated to make a return at UFC 307, with Topuria suggesting a bout with Holloway is in the works.
Topuria shared the news on his official X account, mentioning, “It appears the UFC applied some pressure, and he agreed. El Matador is back. Congratulations to all @ufc fans.” Holloway responded by sharing training camp photos, showing his readiness to compete for the championship again.
The event is also set to feature an undisputed bantamweight title fight between Raquel Pennington and Julianna Pena at the Delta Center. With Topuria’s impeccable 15-0 record and impressive victory over Volkanovski, a matchup against Holloway promises an exciting showdown. The big question looms: who will come out on top in the featherweight title clash between Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway?
