Conor "Notorious" McGregor, either eyeing a presidential run or gearing up for another UFC showdown, sure couldn't hide his excitement after hearing about the upcoming Topuria vs. Oliveira lightweight championship fight for UFC 317!
UFC bigwig, Dana "The Maverick" White, spilled the beans via social media. Islam Makhachev, the top-tier, pound-for-pound UFC stud, will vacate his lightweight title to scramble for a secondary belt against Jack Della Maddalena. The exact details? Still under the wraps.
Locked, loaded, and ready for the lightweight belt fight? June 28 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas!
"Woohoo! Exciting times in the UFC again! Oh yeah! Nice going, Dana White! Couldn't be more certain!" McGregor's Instagram post exclaimed, adorned with an array of money bag emojis.
Recently, McGregor seems to have been focusing on championing a strategic Bitcoin reserve for Ireland, hinted by his X posts.
du Plessis vs. Chimaev: And the Challenge Accepted!
White also confirmed the showdown between Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev for the middleweight title at UFC 319, set to go down at the United Center in Chicago on August 16.
The anticipated faceoff between these titans was nothing but a hot topic for months, and now it's official! Chimaev has been making the rounds as the presumptive successor in the middleweight division for quite some time now.
Plessis defends the title with a win over Sean Strickland on February 8 at UFC 312 in Australia. Down the rankings, Chimaev clinches in at the No. 3 spot for middleweight contenders.
Many fight aficionados have been longing for a Makhachev vs. Topuria superfight, alas, it's not meant to be. Topuria, fresh off his featherweight title win against Alexander Volkanovski last February 2024 at UFC 298, then defending the title against former champion Max Holloway at UFC 308, opted to move up a weight class earlier this year.
Topuria: Everywhere the Title, Nowhere the Title!
At 28 years of age, Topuria steps up his game, aiming for bigger and heavier challenges in his UFC journey.
A quick peek at the UFC rankings and Topuria flexes his muscles in third place, following behind Makhachev.
