The victory, which occurred at 2 minutes and 27 seconds of the first round, surprised many, although Topuria had anticipated the result.\n\nTopuria, with an undefeated record of 17-0, became the tenth two-division champion in UFC history. He connected a short right hand to Oliveira&#8217;s chin, followed by a left hook, sealing the victory decisively.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I already said it. I represent the new era of mixed martial arts. This is the next level of the game.<\/p><cite>Ilia Topuria<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>After the victory, the UFC quickly involved Paddy Pimblett in the conversation. Pimblett, number 8 in the lightweight ranking, was present at the T-Mobile Arena. The rivalry between Topuria and Pimblett dates back to 2021, when Topuria reacted to Pimblett&#8217;s comments about the 2008 Russo-Georgian War. Topuria, of Georgian descent, is originally from Spain.<\/p>\n\n\nPimblett entered the cage to face Topuria. Previously, Topuria had expressed his desire to face Pimblett in his first title defense, preferably in Las Vegas.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>If you think you&#8217;re ready, come. Blonde puto.<\/p><cite>Ilia Topuria<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0629%2Fr1512565_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\nTopuria&#8217;s victory over Oliveira was even more impressive. The champion dodged several attempts by Oliveira to take him to the clinch and take him down. Even when Oliveira managed to half-take him down, Topuria reversed the position and ended up on top of the submission specialist.\n\nThis victory extends one of the most impressive streaks in MMA history. Topuria has knocked out three big names, including former featherweight champions Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway.\n\nIn addition to Pimblett, Topuria has set his sights on former lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ilia Topuria Conquers the UFC Lightweight Title with an Impressive KO LAS VEGAS &#8211; Ilia Topuria fulfilled his promise by knocking out Charles Oliveira in the first round of their fight for the vacant lightweight title at UFC 317.
