The undefeated Topuria won the 145-pound title with a thudding knockout of Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298 this past February. He became the first fighter to defeat Volkanovski in a featherweight bout and his profile has continued to soar in his dual homes of Spain and Georgia.
Holloway, a former featherweight titleholder, added the BMF belt to his collection at UFC 300 after flattening fellow fan favorite Justin Gaethje. He has won three straight fights since losing a trilogy bout to Volkanovski.
In the UFC 308 co-main event, former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker takes on the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev. Whittaker aims for another shot at gold, while Chimaev looks to cement himself as the No. 1 contender despite fighting just four times in the past three years.
