Update:

In what is the most hotly anticipated UFC fight in a long time, Ilia Topuria, the undefeated featherweight champion from Spain, known as “El Matador”, is stepping up to lightweight to challenge former two‑division UFC champion Charles “Do Bronx” Oliveira for the vacant lightweight title at UFC 317 on June 28, 2025 in Las Vegas.

However, it’s not the only fight on the night, with a hugely enticing undercard to get the fans inside the jam-packed T‑Mobile Arena.

Originally, the fight was set to take place between Topuria and Makhachev, but the latter dropped out, announcing that he was instead vacating his title and moving up a weight class to the welterweight division to face newly-crowned title holder, Jack Della Maddalena.

“I don’t think he [Makhachev] is ducking me, to be honest,” Topuria graciously admitted at the time. “I would be lying to you if I told you that he’s ducking me. I think he’s tired of the weight cut [at lightweight division]. He wants a new challenge. He moved to the welterweight division. He feels and he thinks that he has a chance to become a double champion. I think that this is all he’s trying to do.”
