UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan has offered his prediction for the highly anticipated fight between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira, believing Topuria will secure an early finish in the bout for the vacant divisional title.
Tsarukyan shared his perspective: “It will be a tough matchup, but I still think Topuria will be able to finish Oliveira. Topuria will stick to boxing; he won`t attempt takedowns because his striking skills are significantly better than Oliveira`s. As for Oliveira, it seems to me he lacks the necessary wrestling proficiency to take Topuria down.”
The clash between Topuria and Oliveira is set to serve as the main event for UFC 317, scheduled to take place on June 28 in Las Vegas, USA.
