Ilia Topuria aims to become a two-division UFC champion, while Charles Oliveira is set to challenge for the opportunity to reclaim the lightweight title.
This Saturday, UFC 317 is scheduled to take place. The main event will see Topuria face Oliveira for the vacant lightweight championship, a title previously held by Islam Makhachev before he vacated it to pursue multi-division aspirations. In the co-main event, Alexandre Pantoja will defend his flyweight title for the fourth time against challenger Kai Kara-France.
The official “UFC 317 Countdown” video offers an in-depth look at both highly anticipated title contests. It explores Topuria`s transition to the lightweight division after vacating his 145-pound title earlier this year, Oliveira`s quest for a second reign as champion, Pantoja`s pursuit of flyweight greatness, and the potential significance of a championship win for Kara-France and his home crowd.
UFC 317 will be held this Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, serving as the promotion`s annual pay-per-view event during International Fight Week.
