The Octagon returns to Abu Dhabi this Saturday for UFC 308 at the Etihad Arena and in the main event, it simply doesn't get much better.

Featherweight champion Ilia Topuria taking on the former champ Max Holloway is a fight that every single fan is going to be counting down the hours for.

Both men are coming off of two of the best performances and biggest wins of the entire year with Topuria stopping Alexander Volkanovski to win the belt and Holloway producing his instantly iconic buzzer beater knockout against Justin Gaethje.

The champion puts the belt on the line for the first time and his undefeated record against an opponent in "Blessed" who is still at the top of his game despite the years of high level experience he has accumulated.

In the co-main event, we will truly find out where Khamzat Chimaev sits in the middleweight division when he faces his toughest test to date in former 185-pound king Robert Whittaker.

Chimaev always starts fights incredibly fast and aggressive but if he's not able to put away a veteran like "The Reaper", he could be in trouble with this one taking place over five rounds.

Top 15 featherweights also feature as Dan Ige looks to continue his memorable year by handing Lerone Murphy the first loss of his career.

In another high stakes match-up, Magomed Ankalaev takes on Aleksandar Rakić in a fight that could see either man emerge as the next contender for Alex Pereira's title.

Rounding out the main card is the undefeated Sharabutdin Magomedov who will be aiming to earn his fourth win inside the Octagon when he faces Armen Petrosyan.

In the featured prelim, Geoff Neal and Rafael Dos Anjos collide at welterweight after "RDA" faced Mateusz Gamrot at 155-pounds last time out.

One of the biggest events of the year goes down on October 26 in Abu Dhabi where the featherweight title is on the line.
