UFC 317 results: Ilia Topuria scores emphatic knockout to cap off epic night

The Ultimate Fighting Championship wrapped up International Fight Week in Las Vegas with a bang on Saturday night thanks to UFC 317 at T-Mobile Arena. The pay-per-view championship doubleheader delivered in a big way.

In the main event, Ilia Topuria scored a devastating knockout victory over Charles Oliveira only two minutes and 37 seconds into the very first round to claim the vacant lightweight title. With the win, Topuria extended his record to 17-0 and became the UFC's 10th two-division champion.

Before the event, Topuria predicted he would knock Oliveira out in the first round and he came through for the fans.

In the co-main event, Alejandre Pantoja delivered a masterful performance of his own and was dominant against Kai Kara-France en route to a Round 3 submission win to retain his flyweight gold.
