💨 Abstract
Former UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria will compete for the vacant UFC lightweight title against Charles Oliveira on Saturday. Topuria, who is undefeated, moves up from the featherweight division after a successful 2024, aiming to become one of the few fighters to hold UFC belts in two weight classes. Oliveira, seeking to make history by winning the lightweight belt twice, is also hungry for victory and eager to add to his legacy.
