The UFC’s return to the Middle East had some highlight reel-worthy moments, without question, and now they’re available in super slow motion.
Featherweight champion Ilia Topuria (16-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) made history when he became the first to knock out former champ Max Holloway (26-8 MMA, 22-8 UFC). Khamzat Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) crushed the jaw of former middleweight champ Robert Whittaker (27-8 MMA, 17-6 UFC) and probably leapfrogged his way to a title shot. Shara Magomedov (15-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) landed an absurd double spinning backfist to beat Armen Petrosyan (9-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC).
But the fight between Mateusz Rebecki (20-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) and Myktybek Orolbai (13-2-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) on the prelims was a deserving Fight of the Night winner that left both of their faces a bloody mess. To see it in slow motion so close to Halloween is slightly terrifying.
Check out all the highlights in super-slow motion in the UFC 308 “Fight Motion” video highlights above.
