Ilia Topuria issues ice-cold reaction to Charles Oliveira seemingly promising his infant son a title victory at UFC 317

Ilia Topuria recently expressed his thoughts regarding the promise made by Charles Oliveira to his son about winning the title at UFC 317. Topuria emphasized that Oliveira should refrain from making such promises, as it could break his son's heart.

In episode 1 of the UFC 317 Embedded: Vlog Series on YouTube, Oliveira's current partner, Vitoria Brum, who is the mother of their infant son, Dominic, revealed the former UFC lightweight champion's promise.

"It's a promise he made to Dominic [Oliveira's son] because he's already won a belt for Tayla [Oliveira's daughter], and now he'll win another for Dominic."

Charles Oliveira outlines Ilia Topuria's chances against him ahead of UFC 317

Ilia Topuria has an unbeaten UFC record and is coming off knockout victories in his last two fights. However, despite that, Charles Oliveira remains unfazed by the potential threat he poses. According to 'do Bronx', Topuria is just another fighter who is trash-talking and will soon learn his lesson.

During the pre-fight media day interview for UFC 317, Oliveira discussed Topuria's chances against him, saying:

"[I'm] a guy that continues to stay thirsty, that is always for the win. This is for my legacy, for my history. I'm ready for this fight... He's younger, comes in undefeated, but does he want it more than I do? Does he have more hunger, more thirst than I have?"

He added:

"Every fighter has different levels of things, different approaches to things. Ilia's just coming out there very young, very hungry. He's also undefeated. But there's a lot to prove still... In reality, everyone knows what's going to happen. He's another dude that's talking, that's going to fold in front of me."
