Former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley has offered his prediction for the highly anticipated lightweight title bout, set to feature Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira.
Speaking about the upcoming clash, O’Malley revealed his internal debate regarding the outcome.
“My heart tells me that Charles will win. But my brain says that Ilia will win.”
However, the `Sugar` show ultimately leaned towards one fighter, citing recent dominant performances as a key factor:
“…I lean towards Topuria, considering those two insane knockouts in the fights with Volkanovski and Holloway.”
The vacant lightweight title fight between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira is scheduled to headline UFC 317. The event is slated to take place on June 28 in the fighting capital of the world, Las Vegas, USA.
