Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to the pay-per-view (PPV) market this Sat. (Oct. 26, 2024) for the “Topuria vs. Holloway” mixed martial arts (MMA) fight card, held inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, UAE. UFC 308 will be headlined by the featherweight title fight between current 145-pound champion Ilia Topuria and former division kingpin Max Holloway. In the UFC 308 co-headliner, former UFC 185-pound champion Robert Whittaker battles undefeated middleweight sensation Khamzat Chimaev. Elsewhere on the card, light heavyweight “Rocket” Aleksandar Rakic tangles with Magomed Ankalaev for a spot in the 205-pound title chase.
But before they can fight, they must first weigh in.
The UFC 308 early (and official) weigh ins will stream LIVE from the promotion’s host hotel in the embedded video above starting promptly at 1 a.m. ET, which is late Thursday night at 10 p.m. PT for you folks operating on Pacific Time. The festivities are expected to last roughly two hours but could end much earlier depending on how quickly all 26 fighters get to the scale. Remember, the promotion will also stage the UFC 308 ceremonial weigh ins — complete with fighter staredowns — live from Etihad Arena at 10 a.m. ET on Friday morning.
