Description

Another Abu Dhabi card, so you know what that means: a solid PPV with some outstanding matchups. We’ve got Ghost on board from Phantom Punch Breakdowns to give a more detailed analysis on some of these, specifically the main and co-main events featuring Max Holloway vs Ilia Topuria and Robert Whittaker vs Khamzat Chimaev.

But there’s more fights of consequence, as well. We’ve got Aleksandar Rakic facing Magomed Ankalaev at light heavyweight, and UK dynamo Lerone Murphy against Dan “50K“ Ige. It’s a solid event with some of the best matchups on paper that can be made right now, and we carve through that thing like a pumpkin. Enjoy!
