Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira will clash in one of the biggest MMA fights of the year this evening, as they vie for the vacant lightweight title in the main event of UFC 317.
When Topuria vacated the featherweight belt in February, he immediately set his sights on the lightweight strap, which was soon relinquished by pound-for-pound king Islam Makhachev – who is similarly eyeing a title shot at a higher weight.
