UFC 317 — Ilia Topuria vs. Charles Oliveira: Fight card, date, odds, prelims, start time, complete guide

It’s International Fight Week in Las Vegas. The annual event is set to take place in Sin City with the crown jewel being UFC 317 at the T-Mobile Arena. This year’s fight card is headlined by a pair of title fights. The main event sees former champions collide when Ilia Topuria takes on Charles Oliveira for the vacant lightweight title. Plus, Alexandre Pantoja puts his flyweight title on the line when he takes on Kai Kara-France in the co-main event. 

Topuria, the former featherweight champion who gave up his crown in his pursuit of the lightweight title, was crowned CBS Sports’ 2024 Fighter of the Year after defeating Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway, two all-time great featherweights, in succession. Oliveira had one of the most exciting title runs in UFC history and is poised for a sequel. The two are set to battle for the title that Islam Makhachev left vacant after he also decided to move up in pursuit of more divisional gold at welterweight.

Topuria has his eyes on even more gold if he’s successful on Saturday as he plans to move up to welterweight and challenge Makhachev, should Makhachev win the 170-pound title from Jack Della Maddalena later this year. 

The flyweight title fight, meanwhile, features another P4P great in Pantoja, who is looking for his fourth defense of the crown. The Brazilian has cleaned out the majority of the 125-pound class as he owns wins over the majority of the ranked opponents in the division. He gets a fresh face in Kara-France, but the New Zealand native is just 1-2 in his last three fights. He scored a stunning knockout of Steve Erceg last time out to earn this opportunity. 

The rest of the card features exciting matchups in the lower weightclasses. Veterans Renato Moicano and Beneil Dariush are set to face off in a lightweight fight after previously being booked to fight in January. Moicano was picked to fight Makhachev on extremely short notice after Arman Tsarukyan was deemed unable to compete, leaving Dariush without a dance partner. Now they finally get to settle things in the Octagon. Plus, former flyweight title challenger Brandon Royval looks to slow down the momentum of rising prospect Joshua Van in a 125-pound scrap. And another rising prospect looks to get right when Payton Talbott takes on Felipe Lima.
