A new chapter in the UFC lightweight division is set to begin, highlighted by the recently revealed poster for UFC 317.
This highly anticipated event is scheduled for June 28 as part of the annual International Fight Week, taking place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main event will see former featherweight king Ilia Topuria move up in weight to challenge Charles Oliveira for the vacant 155-pound world championship, a belt previously held by Islam Makhachev.
The official poster showcasing this exciting main event has now been released by the promotion.
Topuria is looking to claim his second championship in a different weight class within the UFC, following his decision to vacate the featherweight title earlier this year. Meanwhile, Charles Oliveira aims to regain the championship and become a two-time titleholder by defeating Topuria in his lightweight ascent.
In the co-feature bout of the night, Alexandre Pantoja will put his UFC flyweight title on the line against challenger Kai Kara-France.
