Ilia Topuria faces off with a legend this October.

The official fight poster has been released for UFC 308, which takes place Oct. 26 in Abu Dhabi. In the main event, Topuria puts his featherweight title on the line for the first time when he defends against “BMF” champion Max Holloway.

See the poster below.

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.
