No Room for Comebacks: Ilia Topuria Warns Oliveira, ‘My Power Ends Fights Differently’

Ilia Topuria has a word of warning for Charles Oliveira.

This Saturday, June 28, Topuria will make his lightweight debut inside the Octagon. After working his way up the featherweight division, capturing the 145-pound crown via a sensational second-round knockout against Alexander Volkanovski, ‘El Matador’ will look to conquer another weight class when he meets Oliveira for the vacant lightweight world championship at UFC 317 during International Fight Week in Las Vegas.

Boasting a perfect 16-0 record, eight wins coming inside the Octagon, including highlight-reel KOs against Ryan Hall, Bryce Mitchell, and Max Holloway, Topuria has proven time and time again that his elite-level boxing and lights-out power are powerful enough to put out some of the best names in the game.
