Ilia Topuria is one of the biggest stars in sport, and prior to his enormous title fight on UFC 317, he continued to radiate his sparkling trust.
On Saturday evening, the International Fight Week 2025 culmates with the huge UFC 317 event that is led by an empty lightweight title fight between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira.
'El Matador' is generally considered one of the greatest stars of sport and one of the reasons for that is because of his tangible trust.
And for his collision against 'Do Bronx' on Saturday, Topuria claimed that Oliveira made a big mistake by promising his children that he will win the title in Las Vegas.

Ilia Topuria and team celebrate UFC 317 victory hours for enormous collision
Before he turned his bio on social media into 'UFC Vederweight Champion', before he changed his words in existence in existence.
Of course he managed to do exactly that when he hit Volkanovski cold before he was exactly the same for Max Holloway later in the year.
And just a day before his enormous collision against the former lightweight champion, Topuria has again shown his incredible confidence with a controversial video online.
In the video, the 28-year-old is seen on a chair that celebrates his whole team sings and encourages his name.
Topuria endorsed the video, “Thanks for celebrating the victory with me,” suggesting that he and his team are already celebrating his lightweight title win.
Ilia Topuria names most likely he will fight if he becomes lightweight champion
Because Topuria already sees herself as the 155LB champion, several contenders are waiting in line to fight him or Oliveira for the title.
Prior to their collision, Arman Tsarukyan weighed as a backup in an attempt to secure the next title shot.
However, it is unlikely that the Armenian will be chosen the next and Topuria has marked Justin Gaethje instead as the 'deserving' next title -Uitdager.
Nevertheless, the next title Challenger runs on the one who wins the UFC 317 Main Event, because it is unlikely that Gaethje will fight for the title if the Brazilian UFC history creates the first dual UFC light weight champion.
