UFC 308 Live Stream: How to watch online Topria vs Holloway from anywhere now

General

One of the UFC's current greats will defend his featherweight title against an organizational mainstay of the past decade as Ilaria Toplia and Max Holloway go head-to-head in the Octagon today. Our guide below explains how to watch the UFC 308 live stream and how to use a VPN to stream it from anywhere.

In what Dana White calls the best fight currently available in all of MMA, El Matador makes the first defense of his belt against the man who once wore the belt.

Toprija, who had won all 14 of his fights before facing featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovsky in February, scored a stunning knockout in less than two rounds to take the title that the Australian had held for more than four years.

Who did Volkanovsky beat that day? Max Holloway, of course! The pride of Hawaii now gets his first bite with the new champion.

It may be the only title fight on today's UFC 308, but it is officially the co-main event with a big middleweight clash between Robert Whittaker vs. Kamzat Chmayev. Chmayev will be fighting for the first time in over a year due to injury.

Note that this event will be held in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E., so it will take place much earlier than usual. Keep reading for today's start time, the full card, and details on where you can watch UFC 308 live streaming online and on TV.
