Topuria vs Oliveira UFC 317 full undercard: Complete list of fights before the main event
Here’s the full undercard for Topuria vs Oliveira at UFC 317.
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.

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.”
