Ilia Topuria made quick work of Charles Oliveira in the UFC 317 headliner on Saturday night.
As expected, ‘El Matador’ looked to end things early against Oliveira, quickly closing the distance and lighting up ‘Do Bronx’ with a series of combinations. That prompted Oliveira to clinch up and try to drag his opponent to the mat. However, it was Topuria who would end up on top, immediately advance to side control, and nearly catch Oliveira in a crucifix.
Oliveira attacked Topuria’s leg, forcing the former featherweight king to retreat.
