Witness the Firework Display - Topuria vs Holloway
175
Topuria, a highly versatile and undefeated fighter, is hitting the Octagon with an impressive record of 15-0. This Georgian-Spanish warrior made his UFC debut at the Fight Night Moraes vs Sandhagen, where he knocked out Youssef Zalal. His keen combat skills have seen him finish fights within 3 rounds, with only 2 going the distance. Don't be fooled by Holloway's height advantage - Topuria's higher takedown average means he can take down Holloway at will, fitting for a perfect finish.
550
Holloway is no pushover. With a record of 26-7 and wins primarily through knockouts or decisions, the American fighter knows exactly how to adapt his strategy to cope with different opponents and their unique fighting styles. If the fight goes into the distance, it favors Holloway, whose incredible timing and crippling strikes could turn the tide. Interestingly enough, despite the height difference, both fighters share a similar reach, making Topuria the dominant force. Holloway must dance around Topuria and keep his distance to evade grapples, which could prove to be a challenge.
