After TKO Group Holdings’ WWE Night Of Champions 2025 PLE ended, their UFC 317 PPV took place. In the main event, Ilia Topuria knocked out Charles Oliveira in the very first round to win the vacant UFC Lightweight Championship, thus becoming a two-division World Champion (not simultaneous though, as he vacated the Featherweight Title).
You can watch the finish below:
In the post-fight interview, Topuria called out Paddy Pimblett and called him a b*tch and pu$$y. They had a face-off. Pimblett said Topuria will never knock him out and Topuria pushed him. That looks like Topuria’s next fight.
