UFC Lichtweight Competier Renato Moicano has claimed that the next title defense of Ilia Topuria could be on a super card on UFC 322.
Earlier this year at UFC 317, Ilia Topuria again showed why he was the current biggest star in the sport when he eliminated Charles Oliveira in the first round to become the lightweight champion.
Immediately after the fight, Topuria was confronted with his potential next opponent when Joe Rogan Paddy Pimblett cried in the ring for a spontaneous face, who made UFC boss Dana White angry.
Despite the face, the conversations never seemed to materialize between 'El Matador' and 'The Baddy', and there are several hunters for the Brit in the pecking order.

Renato Moicano leaks potential UFC 322 Super Card
After he has joined an elite group of hunters to win a title in two different weight classes, the 28-year-old will probably like to continue and defend his belt several times in an attempt to become the goat of the weight class.
And with that there are conversations that the Spaniard could return before the end of the year to make the first defense of his 155LB title, and lightweight competition Renato Moicano believes that he knows who it will be.
Speaking in a recent interview with Laerte Viana, Moicano claimed that he hears 'Whispers' that Topuria will defend his title against Justin Gaethje following UFC 322, planned for November 15.
Gaethje's relationship with the UFC seemed to be on the rocks earlier this year after he claimed that he would retire if he had no lightweight title shot.
After having heard Gaethje's retirement, Dana White told 'The high point' to retire and claimed that if he is already retiring, it is not a good sign.
According to Micano, however, that is not the only title fight that could be on UFC 322. The Brazilian also stated that the promotion Alexandre Pantoja vs Joshua van Wil add as the Co-Main event for the flight weight title.
And not long after Micano's claims, I went to social media to warn his fans that he signed the contract for his next fight.
The UFC could close the year strongly
A few weeks ago it was announced that the UFC signed a huge deal of $ 7.7 billion with Paramount for broadcasting rights in the United States, with the network of the PPV model disappearing.
And with a few months left of the 2025 schedule, the promotion wants to go out with a bang in search of what a huge 2026 could be for the sport.
