Ilia Topuria tells Charles Oliveira to keep dreaming for a week out of their title fight on UFC 317.
The skipped lightweight title of Islam Makhachev is this year on the line of the International Fight Week of this year. In the main event of UFC 317, the undefeated Ilia Topuria seems to conquer his second division when he takes on beloved former champion Charles Oliveira.
A murderer of all time of all time Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway, Topuria is just as confident as always on the way to the vacant title fight a weight class and says that he will explode 'Oliveira's Kin' with his enormous knockout power.
Regardless of what his worried fans think, the UFC veteran Oliveira does not seem to be threatened by the power of Topuria, and claims that he is getting harder than Topuria 'certainly' in a recent interview with complete violence.

Ilia Topuria says that Charles Oliveira is getting harder than he is 'very wishful thinking'
The well -completed Topuria remains non -free that he can finish Oliveira in any way that he wants at UFC 317. The 28-year-old has a background in Greco-Roman wrestling and has tightened his boxing skills in the course of the years after the start of his career with Zeven-Straight entries.
Oliveira is the most productive submission artist of the UFC and to this day he is the most difficult batter Justin Gaethje has ever met in his legendary 31-Fight career.
So what does Topuria think that Oliveira says he has the power benefit about him?
“That is very, very wishful thinking,” Topuria said in an interview with Kevin Iole.
“He thinks he has a more powerful blow than me, that's very wishful thinking.”
“I challenge him,” Topuria continued.
“I challenge him. We can divorce [between] Such as a boxing match, a grab competition, a wrestling match …
“I hit him everywhere. Everywhere. Anyway, I want.
“This is how confident I feel,” said Topuria.
Ilia Topuria responds to criticism. It is not big enough for a lightweight division
Topuria has long been featherweight and once fought in the UFC Lightweight Division, where he almost lost via main kick to the 6'1 ″ Jai Herbert in 2022.
Oliveira is three centimeters longer than the 5'7 ″ Topuria, with top lightweight candidate Mateusz Gamrot who predicts Oliveira to win because of his size advantage.
“What do they mean when they say I'm not that big?” Said Topuria.
“Maybe I am not the longest man, but my weight will not be lower than the weight of Charles.
“Even after the rehydration and such, I might even be heavier than he.
“Actually, that's one of the reasons why I moved to the lightweight division because I had to kill myself to make 145 [lbs]. “
