On To the Next One | What's Next For Ilia Topuria After UFC 317?

#iliatopuria is the new #ufc lightweight champion after viciously knocking out Charles Oliveira in the main event of #ufc317 on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Topuria faced off with rival Paddy Pimblett following the victory, and while it may not be the meritocratic way to go about things, is this the fight to make for Topuria's first title defense? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what's next for Topuria after winning his second divisional UFC world title, along with who Oliveira could face in his next outing. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for flyweight champ Alexandre Pantoja and Kai Kara-France following Pantoja's submission win, Joshua Van after his win over Brandon Royval in a Fight of the Year contender, along with fellow main card winners Beneil Dariush, Payton Talbott, and more. 🔵 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4f1JueVgo5t9HSmobCRPug/join 🔵 Subscribe to MMA Fighting on YouTube: http://goo.gl/dYpsgH 🔵 Subscribe to MMA Fighting feed on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mma-fighting/id320642139 🔴 Check out our full video catalog: http://goo.gl/u8VvLi 🔴 Visit our playlists: http://goo.gl/eFhsvM 🔗 Like on Facebook: https://mma-fighting.visitlink.me/jXx747 🔗 Follow on X: https://mma-fighting.visitlink.me/oHZAG3 🔗 Follow on Instagram: https://mma-fighting.visitlink.me/eZP5ff 🔗 Follow on TikTok: https://mma-fighting.visitlink.me/DZzQ3W 🔗 Follow on Threads: https://mma-fighting.visitlink.me/pJJ2xj 🔗 Follow on Bluesky: https://mma-fighting.visitlink.me/GIxe-N 🔗 Subscribe on Twitch: https://mma-fighting.visitlink.me/nSjCJV Read More: http://www.mmafighting.com MMA Fighting is your home for exclusive interviews, live shows, and more for one of the world's fastest-growing sports.
