About UFC 308: Topuria vs. Holloway
Two tactical strikers will take to the octagon in Abu Dhabi on Saturday as they battle for the UFC featherweight title. Champion Ilia Topuria (15-0) will defend his belt for the first time after he won the title from Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298 in February. UFC’s youngest current champion will face the No. 2-ranked challenger Max Holloway (26-7), who is himself, the former featherweight champ. Holloway holds the UFC record for most significant strikes landed (3,378) and will look to extend that total on Saturday.
The co-main event on the card features two of the top middleweight contenders. Third-ranked Robert Whittaker (27-7) will take on rising star No. 13 Khamzat Chimaev (13-0) in a five-round bout rife with title implications. Whittaker, a former middleweight champion, enters UFC 307 on a two-match winning streak while Chimaev will put his undefeated record on the line as he takes a step up in competition.

How to Stream UFC 308 From Anywhere
Wherever you live in the United States, if you’ll be away from home and can’t watch the season opener like you normally do, you still have options, no matter where your travels take you, if you sign up for a VPN. You will still need purchase the PPV from ESPN+ in order to watch UFC 308, but if you are abroad, a VPN will allow you to stream the event just like you were home.
A VPN can be used on your phone, tablet, or computer and make you appear to be back home — even when you’re not — making sure that you can catch all of the games, shows, and movies that you would normally be watching from home. Additionally, a VPN is a safe and secure way to stay protected online while streaming even when you are traveling internationally.
In my opinion, NordVPN is one of the best VPN providers around, at one of the best prices. Currently, you can get two full years of protection for just $3.59 per month, plus an extra three months of service for free. That means you will get even bigger savings on a high-speed VPN with best-in-class security, and you can use it on up to 10 devices at once.
Simply sign up, install the software on your device of choice, and start streaming just as you would back home. It couldn’t be easier!
