The UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria receals the key to his success – confidence. Ilia Topuria delivered a decisive statement at UFC 317, knocking out former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira in the first round to claim the vacant 155-pound title. The event, held in Las Vegas before a crowd of 19,800, marked Topuria’s return to lightweight after a dominant run as featherweight champion – a division he relinquished to pursue new challenges.
