UFC 317: Topuria vs Oliveira (Predictions)

Now that the formalities are out of the way, let’s dive in. Leading the charge is Ilia Topuria, who tossed his featherweight belt to chase Lightweight gold. After dropping Volkanovski and Holloway with style, he’s gunning to light up the Octagon again. Facing him is Charles “Do Bronx” Oliveira—the submission sorcerer and ex-champ who’s ready to reclaim his throne. Power punches or slick subs? The drama’s already real.

Co-main event? It’s fire. Flyweight king Alexandre Pantoja defends his crown against Kai Kara-France, a knockout machine hungry for gold after TKO’ing Steve Erceg. Will Pantoja keep his streak intact, or will Kara-France crack the champ’s code? Either way, buckle up.
