Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Ilia Topuria after UFC 317 title win?

After vacating the featherweight strap earlier this year, Topuria (17-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) moved up to lightweight and dismantled Charles Oliveira (35-11 MMA, 23-11 UFC) for a first-round knockout to become the 10th name in company history to join the two-division title club.

Topuria is unlike any champion before him, however, in that he’s never experienced a blemish on his record. He became a marquee name for UFC in the process, and now there’s no telling what Topuria is capable of.

“El Matador” has a number of potential opponents on the horizon, but who will be first to challenge for his 155-pound belt? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Topuria’s future after UFC 317.
