Charles Oliveira has the chance to write history in his title fight of the most important event on UFC 317.
The Brazilian hunter strives to recover the UFC lightweight title in the main event of the map, which Charles Oliveira is selling against the former UFC -Fedgeweight champion Ilia Topuria.
Their title match came about after the Islam Makhachev had left the UFC light weight title, leaving the division without a champion, but two contenders hungry to fight.
Submission specialist Oliveira hopes to submit the unbeaten former champion, which would help him equate Jim Miller's incredible record on 155 pounds.

Charles Oliveira was able to beat Jim Miller's record of most entry victories in UFC Lightweight History
In the most important event of UFC 317, Oliveira was able to regain the UFC light weight title, but also break one of the most impressive records in the UFC.
The Brazilian has won ten fights through entry, the second most in the history of the lightweight division in the UFC.
He began to force his career to force Darren to tap a triangular arm bar in 41 seconds, who started a UFC career who saw him win and lost through submission.
Oliveira has 10 victories via entry from his 35-1-1 record, including its UFC light weight title defense against Dustin Poirier on UFC 269, who earned the performance of the Night Award.

However, that still brings him a under Jim Miller, who actually forced the Brazilian to tap a knee bar in their fight on UFC 124.
Oliveira threw that loss by doing the same thing to Miller in 2018, and locked a second -hand choke who forced him to submit action after just 75 seconds.
He will have one eye on the record on UFC 317, although Oliveira will have to break another record if he wants to beat Topuria.
Charles Oliveira has a tough collision with the unbeaten Ilia Topuria on UFC 317
Oliveira will have to break the unbeaten record of Topuria in an impressive way if he wants to match Miller's entry record in the lightweight division.
Topuria is so far with 16-0 in MMA, with his last two fights that end in a knockout victory for the Georgian.
“La Layenda” went to lightweight after beating Max Holloway on UFC 308, while retaining his UFC -Fedweight title before he corrected the belt shortly thereafter.
Topuria supported his undefeated to go to toe with Islam Makhachev, although the former UFC light weight champion mimits the Georgian imitating and leaving its own belt to jump on weight classes.
#2-ranged Oliveira was set up in the battle with Topuria for the empty belt. With a much younger opponent with a flawless record, the Brazilian will have to be at best to take topuria and match Miller's Mighty Record.
