The title fight between Ilia Topuria e Max Holloway, which takes place this Saturday (26), in the main fight of UFC 308, in Abu Dhabi, has been generating a lot of anticipation among fans, who hope to see a 'war' of exchanges. The champion's coaches, however, advise that, if this is the case, the challenger should go to the fight protected.
In an interview with 'MMA Junkie', brothers Jorge and Agustin Climent, owners of Climent Club, where they train Ilia Topuria in Spain, they gave provocative advice to Max Holloway if the former champion and current challenger opts for a frank exchange against his pupil.

“If he’s going to try that with Ilia, Max needs to put on a motorcycle helmet, because Ilia will break it. His hands are dynamite,” warned Jorge Climent.
“He really has (dynamite hands). The poor guy needs to bring a helmet. Holloway hits hard, but Ilia hits really, really hard. He would blow his head off if he landed a clean hit. His power is incredible and he is getting more and more dangerous,” Agustin added.
Without a helmet, Max Holloway seeks to reclaim the featherweight throne (up to 65,7 kg) against the current champion Ilia Topuria, which seeks the first defense of the title won in February. The UFC 308 starts at 11 am (Brasília time) this Saturday (26).
