Ilia Topuria sent Max Holloway down and out in the third round to retain his UFC featherweight title.

Before Saturday night, Holloway had only been dropped once and never knocked out.

But that all changed when Topuria landed a huge left hook to shut out his lights and make a huge statement.

Holloway boxed well for the first two rounds, landing plenty of eye-catching shots.

However, Topuria turned the tide with a big straight right that stunned Holloway and forced him to back up against the cage.
