UFC 317 has been officially announced, featuring a lightweight title fight between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira, with UFC champion Islam Makhachev vacating his title. Topuria, who recently vacated his featherweight title, will face Oliveira, a two-time victor over Michael Chandler. The event is scheduled for June 28, 2025, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and will also feature a flyweight title fight. Dana White confirmed the details surrounding this shift in championship fights earlier this week, confirming Makhachev's potential move up to welterweight.
Instead, Ilia Topuria, who vacated his 145lb title, will face Charles Oliveira for the vacant UFC lightweight championship at UFC 317.
