Topuria (17-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) claimed the lightweight title by knocking out Charles Oliveira (35-11 MMA, 23-11 UFC) in Saturday's main event at T-Mobile Arena. In his past three fights, Topuria has knocked out Alexander Volkanovski, Max Holloway, and Oliveira.

No matter how good Kamaru Usman looked in his most recent trip to the Octagon, all roads to the welterweight title go through Belal Muhammad.

On the verge of global stardom following his first-round knockout of Charles Oliveira at UFC 317 last Saturday, Ilia Topuria accomplished a lot more in his vacant title bout at 155 pounds than becoming the first unbeaten two-division champion in promotional history.
