Video: UFC 308 cold open features Max Holloway's surge toward Ilia Topuria
The UFC returns to Abu Dhabi on Saturday with a superstar atop the lineup in an attempt to recapture a title that used belong to him.
The UFC has released the UFC 308 cold open video. The card features a featherweight title fight between champion Ilia Topuria (15-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and former champ Max Holloway (26-7 MMA, 22-7 UFC).
The video is narrated by actor and regular UFC voice-over narrator Ron Perlman and has a backdrop soundtrack of "Unleash The Power" by Hidden Citizens, featuring Rayelle and Sam Tinnesz. That song recently was featured in Netflix's series "Blue Eye Samurai."
The cold open also looks at the co-main event middleweight title eliminator between the unbeaten Khamzat Chimaev (13-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and former champ Robert Whittaker (27-7 MMA, 17-5 UFC).
