Move over, Shavkat. Laura Sanko found a new UFC star to swoon over.
After dominating the featherweight division with highlight-reel knockouts against the likes of Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway, Ilia Topuria is ready for a new challenge. On Saturday night, June 28, he’ll get exactly that.
Emanating from the familiar confines of T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, UFC 317 will see Topuria make his lightweight debut for a clash with Charles Oliveira, the winner leaving as the new 155-pound champion.
Throughout Topuria’s unblemished run inside the Octagon, ‘El Matador’ has strung together a series of jaw-dropping finishes, a trend he looks to continue in ‘Sin City’ this weekend.
