Ilia Topuria sent a message to Charles Oliveira ahead of their UFC 317 showdown and also took a shot at fellow UFC star Islam Makhachev.

UFC 317 is set, but questions remain about what could've been if matchmakers had made some different calls for both Ilia Topuria and Islam Makhachev.

Ilia Topuria might not be without gold for much longer. Topuria vacated his UFC featherweight championship in February as he prepared for a permanent move to lightweight. His first fight as a full-time lightweight will be for the vacant title when he takes on Charles Oliveira, UFC president Dana White announced on Tuesday.
