International Fight Week marks the most significant period in the mixed martial arts calendar. This week, the UFC descends upon Las Vegas for its premier annual events, including the Hall of Fame ceremony and a major pay-per-view showcase. UFC 317, featuring two highly anticipated championship bouts, is set to be the highlight event of the summer.
Anticipation surrounds the key matchups featured on the card. A major talking point is Ilia Topuria`s potential historic attempt to become the UFC`s tenth two-division champion, facing off against formidable opponent Charles Oliveira. The event also highlights the flyweight title defense by champion Alexandre Pantoja against challenger Kai Kara-France, in addition to other compelling contests such as Joshua Van stepping up to face Brandon Royval.
