Topuria, still undefeated, clinched the 145-pound title with a knockout win over Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298 in February. He became the first fighter to beat Volkanovski in a featherweight fight, and his popularity has been soaring in Spain and Georgia.
Holloway, a former featherweight champion, grabbed the BMF belt at UFC 300 by defeating Justin Gaethje. He has triumphed in three consecutive fights since his trilogy bout loss to Volkanovski.
The co-main event of UFC 308 will showcase former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker against the unbeaten Khamzat Chimaev. Whittaker is seeking another shot at the title, while Chimaev aims to strengthen his position as the top contender despite only competing four times in the last three years.
