UFC 317 is set to take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main event of the pay-per-view card features a highly anticipated clash for the vacant lightweight championship. Former featherweight king Ilia Topuria steps up in weight to challenge past 155-pound champion Charles Oliveira.
In the co-main event, the dominant flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja will attempt to make his fourth successful title defense. He faces the dangerous knockout artist Kai Kara-France in a compelling matchup.
The main card is also scheduled to include several other significant bouts:
A pivotal flyweight fight between former title challenger Brandon Royval and rising contender Joshua Van.
A lightweight contest featuring Beneil Dariush taking on Renato Moicano.
Opening the main card, bantamweight prospect and Contender Series alum Payton Talbott is set to face Felipe Lima.
The event coverage is expected to begin around 9:30 p.m. ET / 6:30 p.m. PT, which aligns with the featured preliminary bout: a middleweight contest between Jack Hermansson and Gregory Rodrigues.
