Ilia Topuria is tipped on a large scale to reach two -division glory against Charles Oliveira on UFC 317.
'El Matador' enjoyed a brutal but short rule at featherweight. After Topuria Volkanovski had eliminated, he became the first to deliver the same fate to Max Holloway in his only only defense.
2025 will now see Topuria start a new journey, while he goes to light after leaving his throne at 145 pounds. The Spaniard will have an immediate opportunity to become a member of the club of second division champions when Topuria fights with Charles Oliveira on UFC 317 on 28 June.
When it comes to error opportunities, the former Feverweight Kingpin is considerably preferred over the former lightweight champion-IS that a UFC commentator has shocked.
Laura Sanko is stunned that Charles Oliveira will be broadcast against Ilia Topuria
UFC colors commentator Laura Sanko recently demolished the main event of the International Fight Week alongside Din Thomas on the One -On -One YouTube channel.
After Sanko had indicated the benefit of Oliveira in size and form, Sanko expressed a strong surprise about how big from an underdog the Brazilian is.
In fighting such as his victories over Bryce Mitchell and Jai Herbert, the UFC commentator saw many openings that 'Doing Bronx' could benefit from Fight Night in T-Mobile Arena.
“Should Charles Oliveira actually be preferred in this fight?” Sanko said. “I think that (size) will be a factor in this fight because of the length of Charles Oliveira.
“Ilia Topuria, I looked and he is a favorite of -410. Charles Oliveira is a +320 dog. Listen, I have to be crazy … I have so much to say about how I think Charles can get better from Ilia.
“To be clear, I prefer Ilia in this fight, but those opportunities for me are wild, absolutely wild. … There are times that you can think about (while you look at Topuria) where you are:” Do you know what, if it was Charles Oliveira who did this for him … “
“Just like the Bryce Mitchell fight. Bryce gets him down and Bryce got some good photos on him. I looked and I had something like:” You know, if this was Charles Oliveira, I think he (Topuria) would be here in some major problems. “
Ilia Topuria's horrible prediction for Charles Oliveira Fight
Topuria apparently thinks that the opportunities have been waved in the right way. In fact, his self -confidence would suggest that the Spaniard believes that he should be an even bigger favorite.
'El Matador' has previously made his self -assured predictions against people such as Volkanovsky and Holloway. And he has made similar vows for his next assignment.
Topuria made a particularly horrible prediction about the damage he intends to bring Oliveira to UFC 317.
“I feel so powerful at 155,” Topuria teased in a UFC promotion video.
“I'm going to touch his chin and it will explode.”
Topuria gets the chance to make up for those comments in the second of two title fights that the International Vechtweek in Las Vegas will close. The first will defend Alexandre Pantoja his flying weight gold against Kai Kara-France.
