Dan Hooker has also called out Arman Tsarukyan<\/a> for a UFC 317 showdown, as well as previous rumours that Ilia Topuria<\/a> could make his lightweight debut against Islam Makhachev<\/a> for the UFC Lightweight Title.<\/p>\n

None of these fights have been confirmed yet, and now there is another rumour being thrown about. That’s right, it is being reported that Charles Oliveira<\/a> vs Ilia Topuria<\/a> is now being targeted for UFC 317 in International Fight Week.<\/p>\n

The bout has not yet been confirmed, but there is a chance it could be made official in the coming weeks for UFC 317. It remains to be seen whether this is the main event or not, but it is like to be a co-main event to Jones vs Aspinall<\/a> or another blockbuster UFC Title fight.<\/p>\n

This would be a cracking fight and one worthy of a UFC 317 slot. Charles Oliveira<\/a> vs Ilia Topuria<\/a> rumours are gathering momentum and a UFC 317 showdown could be on the cards next!<\/p>\n
