UFC-317 TOPURIA'S NEXT THREE OPPONENTS || Who's He ⁉️

After winning against Oliveira, Topuria now has the status of UFC lightweight champion. At the same time, he also still holds the UFC featherweight belt.
The following are the fighters who will meet Ilia Topuria :

1.Paddy Pimblett

Paddy Pimblett is one of the UFC's rising lightweight fighters. Since coming to the UFC in 2021, Pimblett has won seven fights without being defeated.

2. Arman Tsarukyan

Arman Tsarukyan is currently the UFC's first lightweight contender. He once had the opportunity to fight Islam Makhachev but then withdrew from the fight due to injury. Tsarukyan once considered that he was worthy to face Topuria in the duel for the vacant title. "It shouldn't be Charles. I can finish Ilia, it's as simple as that. And he knows that. That's the reason he avoids number one contenders," said Tsarukyan. Topuria himself stated that Tsarukyan had to win one match first before he could challenge him.

3. Islam Makhachev

If Islam Makhachev is willing to return to the lightweight class, Topuria will certainly not reject the duel against Makhachev. The reason is, Islam Makhachev was Topuria's initial goal to advance to class. With Topuria's performance against Oliveira, he can increase his bargaining power to challenge Makhachev. Currently, Makhachev is focused on his welterweight duel against Jack Della Maddalena and it is unclear what his next steps will be after this match.
