Unbeaten finishing ace, Ilia Topuria has vowed to score his third straight title fight knockout this weekend at UFC 317, once more vowing to stop and drop incoming foe, Charles Oliveira, inside just one round ahead of International Fight Week.
Topuria, a former featherweight champion, will headline the promotion’s return to a flagship setting this weekend in Las Vegas, competing for the soon-to-be vacant lightweight crown.
Seeing long-time rival, Islam Makhachev set to depart the division, the Russian will put his title up for grabs between Topuria and his former opponent, Oliveira.
