Ilia Topuria, known as 'el Matador', is set to fight Charles Oliveira, dubbed 'Do Bronx', for the vacant lightweight title at UFC 317. This high-stakes match comes as Topuria moves up from featherweight after vacating his title, intending to challenge Islam Makhachev. Instead, he now faces Oliveira, a submission specialist with numerous UFC records. The fight takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, scheduling for late Saturday night, with significant anticipation surrounding this clash of champions.
In what is arguably the biggest UFC bout of 2025, ex-featherweight champ Ilia Topuria and former-lightweight champ Charles Oliveira of Brazil clash for the vacant 155-pound title at UFC 317.
Topuria, who is unbeaten, vacated his featherweight title earlier this year to move up to lightweight class with the original intention of fighting fellow superstar Islam Makhachev.
