International Fight Week is set to take place in Las Vegas, highlighted by UFC 317 Crown Jewel at the T-Mobile Arena. This year’s event will feature two major title bouts. The main event showcases a lightweight championship clash between Ilia Topuria, the former featherweight champ who vacated his title to move up a division, and Charles Oliveira. Meanwhile, the co-main event will see Alexandre Pantoja defend his flyweight belt against Kai Kara-France.
Topuria aims to capture the vacant lightweight title left open by Islamic Makhachev, who moved up to welterweight in search of new challenges. Oliveira, known for one of the most thrilling title reigns in UFC history, is looking to reclaim glory in his return to title contention. If Makhachev, who is scheduled to face Jack Della Madalena for the welterweight title, succeeds, he intends to fully transition to this weight class and seek further championship battles.
