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.
Pantoja, meanwhile is riding the best run of his career as he vanquishes every foe placed in front of him. The Brazilian is on a seven-fight win streak dating back to 2021 and has taken out just about every top contender at 125 pounds. Kara-France, meanwhile, enters on a first-round TKO of Steve Erceg in August. The two met previously in an exhibition bout as part of The Ultimate Fighter in 2016 where Pantoja took a unanimous decision.
