Uncrowned has UFC 317 live results, round-by-round updates, start time and highlights for the Ilia Topuria vs. Charles Oliveira and Alexandre Pantoja vs. Kai Kara-France fight card on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Former UFC featherweight champion Topuria moves up in weight to collide against former lightweight titleholder Oliveira for the vacant 155-pound belt in the night’s five-round main event, while Pantoja seeks the fourth defense of his flyweight title in a five-round battle against Kara-France in the co-headliner.
Topuria (16-0) is Uncrowned’s No. 2 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. He enters Saturday on the heels of one of the greatest two-fight runs in MMA history, having knocked out featherweight legends Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway in back-to-back bouts to ascend as the UFC’s next potential superstar. A native of Georgia who calls Spain his adopted home, Topuria, 28, now seeks a second divisional belt after vacating his 145-pound title to instead chase the lightweight championship vacated by Islam Makhachev. Topuria scored a brutal 2022 knockout of Jai Herbert in his only other UFC appearance at 155 pounds.

Oliveira (35-10, 1 NC) is a decorated former champion in his own right. The UFC record-holder for the most finishes in UFC history (20), most submissions in UFC history (16) and most post-fight bonuses in UFC history (20), Oliveira, 35, once again seeks lightweight gold following a unanimous decision win over Michael Chandler this past November. From 2018-22, Oliveira won 11 consecutive bouts, including championship stoppages of Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje, before dropping his belt to Makhachev.
The evening’s co-main event sees Uncrowned’s No. 4 pound-for-pound fighter, Pantoja (29-5), continue his assault across the flyweight ranks with his latest title defense against Kara-France (25-11, 1 NC). Pantoja has ripped through a seven-fight win streak since 2021, culminating in a successful title capture against Brandon Moreno followed by title defenses over Brandon Royval, Steve Erceg and Kai Asakura. Kara-France scored a first-round knockout of Steve Erceg in August to earn his second shot at UFC gold.
