Both undefeated fighters have gained a combined 1.1 million Instagram followers thanks to their emphatic victories at UFC 308.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Ilia Topuria &amp; Khamzat Chimaev Gain 1.1 Million Instagram Followers<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/ufc-308-prize-money\/\">UFC 308<\/a> saw an incredible night of MMA action at the Etihad Arena in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi on October 26th. The entire card from top to bottom delivered, with so many great fights and highlight reel knockouts scattered across the main card and prelims.<\/p>\n<p>Although there were plenty of impressive performances, it was both Ilia Topuria and Khamzat Chimaev who rightfully stole the headlines with their two respective emphatic victories.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/ilia-topuria-net-worth-career-earnings-endorsements\/\">Ilia Topuria<\/a> became the first man to knock <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/max-holloway-net-worth-career-earnings-endorsements\/\">Max Holloway<\/a> out with a Round 3 TKO to retain his UFC Featherweight Title, meanwhile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/khamzat-chimaev-next-fight\/\">Khamzat Chimaev<\/a> submitted former champion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/robert-whittaker-net-worth-career-earnings-endorsements\/\">Robert Whittaker<\/a> in Round 1 of their middleweight bout in the co-main event.<\/p>\n<p>In the aftermath of both Topuria and Chimaev&#8217;s career-best wins, both men have seen a significant increase in their social media followings.
