UFC CEO, has confirmed tonight that the victor of this weekend’s UFC 315 headliner between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena, will likely determine who Ilia Topuria will fight for the lightweight crown this summer at UFC 317.
Topuria, a former undisputed featherweight kingpin, is widely expected to headline UFC 317 this summer in a lightweight title fight, however, a pairing for the Spaniard has yet to be inked.
Heavily linked with a title showcase with pound-for-pound number one, Islam Makhachev, the pairing has hit radio silence in recent weeks, however.
