The ongoing lightweight drama in the UFC has finally come to an end, but not how fans had expected it. The post Islam Makhachev Vacates Lightweight Gold as Ilia Topuria vs. Charles Oliveira Headlines UFC 317 for Undisputed Title appeared first on FirstSportz.

The UFC has finally booked Ilia Topuria's highly anticipated lightweight debut – and it will be for another title. Topuria, who vacated the featherweight championship in February, is scheduled to take on former UFC lightweight champ Charles Oliveira at UFC 317 on June 28 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The UFC is heading for a confusing place regarding International Fight Week. The annual marquee event generally features a huge main event, and many believed that a matchup between current lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and former featherweight champion Ilia Topuria would be that matchup.
