Beneil Dariush Warns Ilia Topuria Not to Overlook Charles Oliveira Ahead of UFC 317 Title Clash

  • Ilia Topuria will challenge Charles Oliveira for the UFC lightweight championship, which is currently unoccupied, at UFC 317 in Las Vegas on June 28, 2025.
  • Topuria moved up from featherweight after vacating his title, aiming to prove himself as a serious lightweight fighter following back-to-back knockouts of featherweight legends.
  • Topuria parted ways with his longtime coaches weeks before UFC 317 and now trains under a new Madrid-based team while preparing extensively for his lightweight debut.
  • Although Topuria is a heavy favorite, UFC fighters Beneil Dariush and Mateusz Gamrot warn the fight is closer than perceived, noting Oliveira’s striking, grappling, and resilience as major threats.
  • The bout will test Topuria’s adaptation to lightweight and new training setup, while Oliveira seeks a third title shot, making UFC 317 a significant clash with potential two-division champion implications.
