UFC reveals main card for hyped Ilia Topuria vs. Charles Oliveira PPV

UFC 317 main card snubs ranked flyweights in favor of fringe heavyweight fight

As per the UFC, UFC 317's main card is comprised of five fights, four featuring ranked talent.

• Ilia Topuria vs. Charles Oliveira; vacant light title
• (c) Alexandre Pantoja vs. Kai Kara-France; fly title
• Paulo Costa vs. Roman Kopylov; middle
• Beneil Dariush vs. Renato Moicano; light
• Jhonata Diniz vs. Justin Tafa; heavy

Keen-eyed fans might notice Brandon Royval vs. Manel Kape being pushed to the prelim portion of the card, in favor of an unranked heavyweight contest between Jhonata Diniz and Justin Tafa.

This is despite Royval's No. 1 ranking and Kape's No. 6 ranking. Not being positioned on the PPV portion of the card could affect their payouts, depending on whether their contracts stipulate a share of the PPV sales.

UFC 317 still only has ten announced fights, so some shifting around is possible. The rest of the card is as follows (subject to change):

• Brandon Royval vs. Manel Kape; fly
• Viviane Araujo vs. Tracy Cortez; fly
• Jack Hermansson vs. Gregory Rodrigues; middle
• Terrance McKinney vs. Viacheslav Borshchev; light
• Hyder Amil vs. Jose Delgado; feather

Expect between one and four more fights to be announced for the June 28 PPV in the coming weeks.
