Former UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya shared his prediction for the upcoming bout between the promotion's featherweight belt holder Elijah Topuria and Max Holloway in the main event of UFC 308 on October 26 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
"In the first half of the first round, Topuria will be watching his opponent, reading his movements. By the end of the first round, he'll start working himself, but by that point, Max will have the spirit knocked out of him. Hell, I feel like if Topuria wins, he's going to win in the early rounds.
I'm trying to picture Max getting knocked out.... No, I can't. So I'd bet on Holloway. He has too much experience. He's seen a lot and spent a lot of time in the octagon. I think Max will open up in the fourth and fifth rounds," Adesanya said in a recent release on his YouTube channel.
