Even with a break in UFC events last weekend, the news cycle is buzzing, particularly regarding the potential main event for UFC 317, the promotion’s significant annual International Fight Week card held in Las Vegas. With former featherweight champion Ilia Topuria recently hinting at upcoming news, speculation is high that he might be involved in the headlining bout.
