Al Jazir’s Lightweight UFC Title Follow the Direct Coverage of Battle of Battle Here??
The biggest UFC uphill in 2025 is the Blank 155-pound (70-kilogram) in the UFC 317, former Brazil-feeder Champal Ilia Topuria and former-Lightweight Champ Charles Olivera.
Unbeaten Topuria vacated her Fatherweight Championship at the beginning of this year and ESPN placed the world’s best pound-pound-pound UFC soldier to go to light classes with the original intention of fighting superstar Islam Makhachev; Topuria is number two.
Instead, Georgian-Pentiords will now have to face another terrible competitor as an Oliver, who have recorded many UFCs to win most of the submission at 16, most of the Bonus.
It is worth knowing all of this before the Topuria-Olivira climb:
When and where is the UFC 317?
- UFC 317 will be held on T-Mobile Arna in Las Vegas on Saturday.
- The capacity of the space for the UFC event is 20,000.
- The main card is going to start on Sunday 02:00 GMT (PT / 9pm CT / 10 PM ET ET Saturday, Sunday morning at 7pm) at 4 pm).
- The ring walk for Topuria-Oliver will take place at around 44:00 GMT (PT / 11 at 9pm CT / 12 AT Sunday at 6am on Sunday) and then the caption fight will start soon.
Why didn’t Topuria battle with Medhavas for UFC Lightweight Title?
Makhachev vs Topuria is undoubtedly the greatest draw in the history of UFC – and it may happen in the future.
Makhachev, who plays a 27-1 UFC record and is a four-time lightweight champion, declared in May that he would vacate his title and will face a new-winning championship in the Welterweight section, Jack Dell to Jack Dell. The date of that battle has not yet been announced.
At the beginning of this year, Top Topuria had expressed his desire to fight Makhav in heavy lightweight classification at 145 pounds (66 kg), he initially emptied his title belt on May 13 and allegedly escaped from this challenge.
However, in a recent interview on Ariel Helwan Podcast, Topuria said that he understood the reasons behind Makhachev’s decision.
“I don’t think he (Makhachev) is ducking me, honestly,” Topuria said. “If I told you that I was lying to you. I think he is tired of weight loss (in lightweight division). He wants a new challenge. He went to the Welterweight section. He thinks he thinks he has a chance to become a double champion. I think it’s all trying to do it.”
How can Topuria win?
Topuria’s total technical battle talent and boxing capabilities are renowned, so Olivira has to be careful from trading with a powerful 28 -year -old powerful in Ashtakona.
In 224, Alexander Volkanovsky and Max Holloway were dismissed for two ex -ex -former UFC champions to establish their dominance in the Faderweight section.
MMA’s commentator on ESPN Lan Lan Jauban said, “Skill, that skill, it will be the best pound-pound-for-pound fighter in the world… all its opponents have stood toes and all have fallen,” MMA commentator Lan Lan Jaun Jaan said on ESPN.
“He (Topuria) will complete the upper floor and he has the power that makes you sleep,” Jauban further said.

How can Olivira win?
If the Olivira can win the empty lightweight belt on Saturday, he will refuse to join the two-section veteran champions in the small list of champions.
Olivira is the largest lightweight all-rounder and the biggest lightweight-a very confident competitor-Sao Paulo cannot make the mistake of underestimating the contradictory skills of the Native.
The path of 35 years of victory is in his noble ability to fight his opponents. Oliveira’s ground game is effective and its 16 victory by submission – in different ways – becomes a difficult and dangerous competitor for Topuria.
“I think, for Charles (Oliveira), he should be in all the way or all the way and try to fight some… he needs to get the top spot, he needs to be wrestled (Topuria). We (Topuria) have not done much in the UFC,” said MMA Fighter and current UFC commentator.
Olivira has also benefits (1.78 m against 1.7 meters) and reach (1.88 m vs 1.75m), although the Faidarweight section will have a powerful advantage against Brazil by increasing the weight class.

Topuria, what do you say about this fight?
Topuria: “You can never measure him because he is a dangerous man,” Topuria said about Olivira. He said, “It is the most ended in the history of UFC. But I have faced such situations, many times, with Max Hollow with Volkanovsky (Alexander),” he said.
“The development of the skills I was bringing in the game, never experienced them, they never saw it. That’s what this is going to happen in Charles. He thinks he has any opportunities, but the reality is that he (does not do).
“I’m going to finish him in the first round,” added to Topuria.
Oliveira: They said, “In fact, I do not focus on what I (Topuria) is doing, but I did not focus on what we can get and what we can take.
