Charles Oliviera Predicts UFC 317 Clash With Ilia Topuria Won’t Last Long

Posted on May 28, 2025 by A. J. Riot

Brazilian UFC star Charles Oliveira takes on Ilia Topuria in the big fight at UFC 317 on June 28th in Nevada, and the 35-year-old, who saw off Michael Chandler last November to secure his 35th win, believes he’ll make light work of his unbeaten Georgian-Spanish opponent.

It’s now 17 years since the former undisputed Lightweight champion made his UFC debut in Sao Paulo, and he will hope that he can take care of a fighter seven years his junior.
