Charles Oliveira responds to Ilia Topuria’s challenge ahead of UFC 317

Charles Oliveira and Ilia Topuria are engaged in a war of words ahead of their UFC 317 lightweight title fight at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas — scheduled for three days from now.

Topuria, who recently moved up from featherweight, displayed excessive confidence by predicting a quick victory over Oliveira.

“I only need two or three minutes to defeat him,” stated Topuria.

The lightweight title is currently vacant after Islam Makhachev decided to move up in weight class. Do Bronx — known for his lethal submission skills — didn’t remain silent in response to these statements and affirmed his determination to reclaim the championship belt.
