UFC 308: Topuria vs Holloway detailed
First off was the highly successful UFC 307 that went down in Salt Lake City, Utah on October 6. This was quickly followed by week 9 of DWCS Season 8 then by UFC Fight Night: Brandon Royval vs Tatsuro Taira. And now, the second-biggest PPV card of the month is almost a week away.

Furthermore, the card also has an additional 145-lb bout with Dan Ige against the #12 ranked knockout artist Lerone Murphy.
