The time has come! Charles do Bronx and Ilia Topuria will fight for the lightweight title (up to 70,3 kg) vacated by Islam Makhachev in the main event of UFC 317 , this Saturday (28), at the T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas (USA). The ceremony concludes the organization's 'International Fight Week' with the title fight, in addition to Alexandre Pantoja defending his flyweight title (up to 56,7 kg) against Kai Kara-France in the co-main event. Brazil has seven representatives on the card.

In an attempt to regain his place at the top of the world, Charles has to overcome Topuria, who gave up his featherweight belt (up to 65,7 kg) due to weight-cutting issues. A former champion, the Brazilian held the title in 2021 and 2022 and, almost three years later, he has the opportunity to become 'king' once again.
