The UFC has finally booked Ilia Topuria's highly anticipated lightweight debut – and it will be for another title. Topuria, who vacated the featherweight championship in February, is scheduled to take on former UFC lightweight champ Charles Oliveira at UFC 317 on June 28 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

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.

Topuria vacated the featherweight belt to challenge for lightweight gold, and he will do so against former 155lb champion Oliveira this summer
