The winner of UFC 326's headlining "BMF" title fight between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira will have a strong case for a rematch with UFC Lightweight Champion Ilia Topuria.

The UFC lightweight champion posted a cryptic message to Instagram on Tuesday, teasing “big news is coming soon.” It has been over eight months since Topuria has competed, with the undefeated fighter taking time off to deal with personal matters, including “false allegations of domestic abuse” according to Topuria.

Ilia Topuria defends his decision not to fight 3–4 times a year amid criticism and Justin Gaethje waiting for a title shot.

Alexander Volkanovski wants to see Arman Tsarukyan face someone other than Ilia Topuria. Dana White wasn’t too bothered by Tsarukyan’s RAF brawl that led some to question whether he’d hurt his chances of receiving another UFC title shot.

Although Ilia Topuria's featherweight title reign was short, Robert Whittaker says you can't deny the results.

Max Holloway isn't ready to write off Justin Gaethje against Ilia Topuria.

Ilia Topuria does not see Khabib Nurmagomedov as a GOAT contender. The Spanish star currently occupies the UFC throne that Nurmagomedov sat on through three successful defenses until his retirement in 2020.

Frankie Edgar would love to see Justin Gaethje pull the upset against Ilia Topuria, but knows it won't be easy.

Ilia Topuria's top three preferred matchups include Conor McGregor. Topuria recently revealed that his top three preferred opponents are Islam Makhachev, McGregor, and Paddy Pimblett. Topuria added that he would love to hand Pimblett the first knockout loss of his career.
