And the promotion has an incredibly stacked card in place for their return to the United Arab Emirates.

Topping the bill of their 12th pay-per-view card of what has been an incredible 2024 is a mouth-watering title fight between two fan favourites.

Ilia Topuria will make the maiden defence of his featherweight title against former champion Max Holloway.

Topuria claimed the 145lbs crown in February with a devastating second-round KO of Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298.

Hawaiian hitman Holloway, meanwhile, will enter the fight on the back of a viral buzzer-beater KO of Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 in April.

UFC 308’s co-main event of the evening will also have huge title implications.

Former middleweight king Robert Whittaker will bid to end the seemingly unstoppable steamtrain that is the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev.

UFC 308 is packed with incredible fights from top to bottom.
