Dana White Hit with Jeopard for 8th time as Ilia Topuria vs Charles Oliveira UFC 317 Bout Faces Problems

UFC 317 had all the right ingredients: two title fights, rising stars with people like Ulli Topuria And Charles OliveiraAnd a fan-favorite middleweight fight with serious consequences. But only a few weeks before the fight, something has known – and frustrating -. One of the most expected games at the event has disappeared from the list, making fans perplexed and Dana White climb again.

In the middle of the chaos Paulo Costa. We have seen this story before: a seductive competition is advertised, Buzz is being developed and then … it’s gone. His name has become synonymous with potential with high effort, as well as many high -profile cancellations. And this last event adds another chapter to that story.

The issue in question was a planned collision with Roman KopylovA deadly Russian attacker with a big momentum. It was intended as a collision of styles and bets. Kopylov had everything to win. ‘De Gum’ had everything to prove.

Subsequently, as countless publications confirmed, the Brazilian withdrew due to an illness. The fight, which was previously planned for June 28 at UFC 317, was again planned for July 19 at UFC 318. It is worth noting that this is not an isolated matter. Since 2017, Costa has been involved in eight cancellations, four of which were directly caused by him.

It is a statistics that its peak-reel knockouts and fanbase dwarf. Whether it is because of injury, illness or missed weight, the result is the same: disturbed cards and dissatisfied fans. This time it creates a noticeable gap in one of the most expected events of the UFC in the summer.

UFC 317 has become slightly more complicated for Dana White. Costa is under increasing pressure to deliver instead of just appearing. And for Kopylov it is still a month of waiting for a fight that will hopefully play this time. Regarding the main event, that is still on, and Charles Oliveira believes that the lightweight title is intended to be around its waist.

Despite the withdrawal of Paulo Costa, Charles Oliveira is self -confident when delivering the UFC 317 from Dana White

The departure of Paulo Costa may have added some uncertainty to UFC 317, where Dana White now wonders how his event it will perish, but the prospects of Charles Oliveira are anything but shaky. ‘Do Bronx’ sees all these chaos as confirmation that he was always destined to reclaim the lightweight crown. While others rearrange their positions or withdraw due to illness, the gaze of the Brazilian on the belt remains fixed – and the man who is currently standing in the way.

For Charles Oliveira it is not about who the title held earlier or why it is empty. He has been here earlier – twice, to be precise – and he understands what is needed to win when everything is at stake. “It is ultimately a title fight – it doesn’t matter if there is a champion or there is none,” He told MMA Junkie.

The undefeated record of Ilia Topuria can be hyped, but ‘Do Bronx’ believes that it is precisely that is: hype. And, given the recent comments from the Spanish-Georgian about his IQ fight, Oliveira seems to be more motivated to offer a performance that leaves no room for argumentation.

It is not the noise of a hunter trying to sell a fight; It is the tone of someone who believes that fate has already done the sale for him. “I just want to win. It is meant. It has already been written,” he said, reject the waste talk. Whether it is his third chance of vacant gold or just a fighting evening again, Charles Oliveira sees June 28 when the night he finally regains what his.
