Ilia Topuria defeats Charles Oliveira at UFC 317 with dramatic KO

Ilia Topuria achieved a remarkable feat by capturing the UFC lightweight championship after defeating Charles Oliveira at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas.

The Spanish-Georgian fighter — known as El Matador — displayed dominance by ending the fight via KO in the first round.

A combination of punches culminating in a left hook from Topuria left former champion Oliveira unconscious — cementing the new champion’s undefeated record with 17 consecutive victories in professional MMA.
