UFC 317 live updates: Time, streaming for Ilia Topuria vs. Charles Oliveira card
Former UFC Lightweight Champion Charles Oliveira has another shot at the title.
Oliveira (35-10-0) will face off against former UFC Featherweight Champion Ilia Oliveira (16-0-0) at UFC 317 for the Lightweight title, which was vacated after champion Islam Makhachev moved up to the Welterweight division.
Oliveira previously held the UFC Featherweight title from May 2021 to May 2022, when he was stripped of the belt ahead of his second title defense after missing weight by half a pound. It marked the first time in UFC history that a defending champion lost a title due to missing weight.
Meanwhile, Topuria vacated his Featherweight title in April to move up to lightweight.

Jake Paul is about to take his biggest boxing test against notorious ex-champ Julio César Chávez Jr.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Jake Paul is set to take the biggest risk of his unique boxing career on Saturday night when he faces former middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr. at Honda Center. Paul (11-1, 7 KOs) is facing his most accomplished opponent yet when he takes on the 39-year-old Chávez (54-6-2, 34 KOs) in front of a raucous Orange County crowd. Chávez has fought once since 2021 and is best known for failing to maximize the potential in his famous father's genetics. He is still the most credible boxer by far to share the ring with Paul, who is now 5 1/2 years and 13 fights into his lucrative boxing tenure. Paul has successfully leveraged his Internet ubiquity and his own hard work to become a force in the business of boxing, if not in championship bouts. He has founded a busy promotional company and flirted with mixed martial arts while becoming one of the most important combat sports athletes in the world on his unique career path. Paul has mostly fought mixed martial artists and fellow online celebrities, and he took his only loss in February 2023 when he stepped in against actual boxer Tommy Fury, whose fame also exceeds his ring skills. Paul hadn't fought since last November, when he beat Mike Tyson in a much-hyped bout that couldn't live up to improbable expectations from fans who didn't understand the simple realities of Tyson being 58 years old. Chávez was away from the ring for three years before his return late last year, but Paul's invitation brought him back again — along with the thousands of fans who eagerly bought tickets in perpetual support of their champion. Chávez has fallen to innumerable lows during a lengthy boxing career conducted in the shadow of his father, one of the most beloved athletes in Mexican history. The son has failed drug tests, served suspensions and egregiously missed weight while being widely criticized for his intermittent dedication to the sport. He still rose to its heights, winning the WBC middleweight title in 2011 and defending it three times. Chávez shared the ring with generational greats Canelo Álvarez and Sergio Martinez, losing to both. Chávez even lost in 2021 to Anderson Silva, the former UFC champion and rudimentary boxer who lost a one-sided ring decision to Paul one year later. Paul's career as the world's most popular pugilistic sideshow could change soon: His financial potency makes it almost inevitable that he will be invited to fight under a sanctioning body's aegis, which means he could likely book a bout against an elite boxer whenever he chooses. On the solid undercard in Anaheim, 43-year-old former UFC star Holly Holm returned from a 12-year absence from the boxing ring to dominate previously unbeaten Yolanda Guadalupe Vega Ochoa. New Jersey welterweight Julian Rodriguez then earned a thrilling victory in the waning moments of the 10th and final round, staggering Avious Griffin with a sneaky left hand and eventually knocking the previously unbeaten Griffin sideways into the ropes for a stoppage with 5 seconds left. ___

UFC 317 results: Payton Talbott upsets Felipe Lima in bounce-back victory
Payton Talbott has bounced back. One of the UFC's fastest-rising stars in terms of popularity, Talbott (10-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) successfully rebounded Saturday at UFC 317 when he upset former OKTAGON champion Felipe Lima (14-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) with a unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) victory. The bantamweight bout kicked off the UFC 317 main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. A scrambly opening five minutes saw Lima take Talbott to the canvas multiple times and even take his back at one point. But Talbott stayed composed and utilized his aggressive striking Round 2, during which he mounted Lima though could not finish. In Round 3, Talbott overcame some Lima success early to outbattle the Brazilian late in the fight – and subsequently get the nod from all three judges. Talbott, 26, turned heads for his flashy fighting style and unique personality coming out of Dana White's Contender Series in 2023. Following wins over Nick Aguirre, Cameron Saaiman, and Yanis Ghemmouri, Talbott lost for the first time as a pro vs. Raoni Barcelos in January. Lima, 27, loses for the first time since his pro debut in August 2015. Lima defeated Muhammad Naimov and Miles Johns in the UFC prior to Saturday's fight. Up-to-the-minute UFC 317 results:
