Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is holding a special pre-fight press conference for the upcoming UFC 308: “Topuria vs. Holloway” ESPN+ mixed martial arts (MMA) event, locked and loaded for this Sat. (Oct. 26, 2024) inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The entire UFC 308 pay-per-view (PPV) main card is expected to be in attendance, including featherweight headliners Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway, as well as middleweight co-headliners Robert Whittaker and Khamzat Chimaev, among others.

The LIVE press conference stream gets underway TODAY (Thurs., Oct. 24) at 8:30 a.m. ET in the embedded video above.

“We’ll find out if he’s a BMF or a p**** like everyone that’s predicting that I’m going to lose to Max Holloway,” Topuria told Uncrowned. “All the UFC fighters, I watch the predictions, they’re predicting that he’s going to beat me. All the bums, f**k you, everyone. After I’m gonna knock him out, don’t even tell me hello if you see me around. F**k yourself, everyone. They’re all snakes in the grass, because they see you around then they’re acting like fans, but when they have to do something, ‘No, Max is going to beat him.’ Maybe they feel a little bit of envy.”
