UFC 308 is going to be brutal as the featherweight champion Ilia Topuria will be fighting against the BMF champion Max Holloway for the featherweight championship. The clash is set to be the main event of the match card. The faceoff between the fighters was also intense.
Meanwhile, star footballer from Spain, Sergio Ramos, was spotted arriving at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi to attend UFC 308. Interestingly, Ramos also walked out with Topuria during the faceoff. So, it is pretty clear that he is here to show his support for the Spanish fighter.

Soon after the fight, Holloway called out Topuria for a match and the Spanish took no time to accept the challenge. Holloway is known to be a fighter who loves to fight on foot and is also too good with boxing. On the other hand, Topuria is known for his quick reflexes and cardio. It’d be interesting to see if anyone from them would go for the ground game or not.
However, talking about Ramos, it is quite good to see an athlete extending his support to another athlete irrespective of the sports field. Ramos has been a legend in Football and still shows why he is called one of the best defenders of the game. Ramos is also known for his controversial fights on the field which shows his aggressive nature drawing parallels with the fearless mindset of MMA athletes.
