Ilia Topuria makes his lightweight debut at UFC 317 against the legendary Charles Oliveira with the vacated title on the line.
The pre-fight narrative: Topuria cleared out the featherweight division and is a massive favourite to win after jumping up a weight class. Before that, Alexandre Pantoja defends his flyweight title in a long-awaited bout against Kai Kara-France.

Topuria vs. Oliveira main event
When Topruia vacated his lightweight title to move up a division, his goal was to challenge Islam Makhachev for the lightweight belt.
But Makhachev made a weight change of his own, sliding up to welterweight to take on Jack Della Maddalena for that title.
Fans will have to wait for Topuria vs. Makhachev. But getting this matchup in the meantime isn't a bad consolation prize.
Oliveira was once the king of 155 pounds and holds the UFC record for most finishes (20) by any competitor. He lost the belt to Makhachev back in 2022 and will have a chance to summit the mountaintop again on Saturday.
But the undefeated Topuria is expected to win after knocking out two legends, Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski, in his last two fights.
UFC 317 Pantoja vs. Kara-France odds
- Pantoja is heavily favoured to defend his title for a fourth time. The Brazilian is on a seven-fight winning streak, taking three of those by submission. That includes his most recent win over Kai Asakura in December (rear-naked choke).
- Kara-France first fought for the interim flyweight title in 2022 but lost to Brandon Moreno. He's back in the mix after logging a decisive Round 1 win over Steve Erceg at UFC 305 last August. This fight was originally scheduled for April but has been pushed back several times.
Dariush vs. Moicano odds
- Dariush was on an eight-fight winning streak before taking a pair of first-round KO losses to Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan. Now, he's in a pick'em against Moicano, who logged back-to-back TKOs before losing to Makhachev on short notice at UFC 311.
Royval vs. Van odds
- Royval is the No. 1 flyweight contender, and a win here would surely get him another look at the title. He is 5-1 in his last six fights. His only loss in that span came to Pantoja with the championship on the line at UFC 296.
- Van could really propel himself into superstardom with a win. The 23-year-old is 8-1 in the UFC and has won four straight fights — including two this year — heading into this event.
Talbott vs. Lima odds
- Talbott holds the higher rank, and a 9-1 career MMA record, but is an underdog to Lima. The “Jungle Boy” carries a 14-fight win streak into this event, having not lost since his MMA debut back in 2015.
