Sean Shelby's Shoes: What's next for Ilia Topuria after UFC 317 title win?
Ilia Topuria achieved the rarest of feats at UFC 317 when he claimed a second divisional title all while undefeated.
After vacating the featherweight strap earlier this year, Topuria (17-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) moved up to lightweight and dismantled Charles Oliveira (35-11 MMA, 23-11 UFC) for a first-round knockout to become the 10th name in company history to join the two-division title club.
Topuria is unlike any champion before him, however, in that he's never experienced a blemish on his record. He became a marquee name for UFC in the process, and now there's no telling what Topuria is capable of.
"El Matador" has a number of potential opponents on the horizon, but who will be first to challenge for his 155-pound belt? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Topuria's future after UFC 317.

Sean O'Malley praises 'superstar' Ilia Topuria, glad UFC 'didn't make that fight'
Sean O'Malley admits he dodged a bullet against Ilia Topuria after a past callout never materialized. O'Malley (18-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC, the then-bantamweight champion, called for a matchup with then-featherweight titleholder, Topuria (17-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) following a win at UFC 299 in March 2024. It didn't happen, however, and after what O'Malley witness Saturday, he's grateful. In the UFC 317 main event, Topuria knocked out Charles Oliveira in the first round to capture the lightweight belt. It was a star-making performance from "El Matador," and O'Malley could only offer praise. "Thank God he didn't accept my callout," O'Malley said on his YouTube channel. "Ilia's a f*cking superstar. ... Thank God the UFC didn't make that fight." O'Malley expressed interest in seeing Topuria face Islam Makhachev in a super fight next, but with Makhachev slated to challenge welterweight champ Jack Della Maddalena later this year, it's still in the distant future. After Paddy Pimblett entered the octagon for a staredown with Topuria at the conclusion of UFC 317, however, O'Malley said that's a fight that would have his attention. "Islam's already fighting JDM, so it's kind of pointless to even fantasize about that fight until that fight happens," O'Malley said. "Ilia vs. Paddy is the fight to make. Simple as that. 100 percent, that's the next fight if it's not going to be Ilia and Islam."

Beneil Dariush exits UFC 317 with victory but mixed emotions: 'I'm frustrated'
LAS VEGAS – Beneil Dariush was still processing his UFC 317 win over Renato Moicano as he spoke to reporters backstage at T-Mobile Arena. Admittedly, he struggled to put into words the mix of emotions he felt after his unanimous decision victory. "I'm feeling fine," Dariush told MMA Junkie and other reporters. "I'm frustrated. I've already said I'm frustrated, so I'll try to stop saying it. I feel fine. I just keep replaying that first round in my head and it just makes me more angry." The fight was Dariush's first since December 2023. It had been 18 months between fights. Dariush (23-6-1 MMA, 17-6-1 UFC) avoided an early scare from Moicano (20-7-1 MMA, 12-7 UFC) and rallied to win Round 2 and 3. Despite getting the nod from all three judges, Dariush couldn't shake the memory of nearly being put away in the opening five minutes. "It's good to have that dog in you, like they say," Dariush said. "... I just felt like in the first round I was landing leg kicks. I was landing high kicks. My hands were somewhat landing, and then I get dropped, so it's frustrating. Then in Round 2, to be honest, the game plan was to shoot. I was supposed to take him down in the first round. It's frustrating because you don't follow the game plan that you set. You lose the round because of it. Then, you go to Round 2 and you're just so mad you're not thinking about game plans any more. You're just thinking about finding ways to win. The more I played it over in my head, it's better if I internalize it than I try externalize it, because it just doesn't sound good when I speak." Dariush said regardless of the outcomes of his fights, he tries to compartmentalize the results and put them in perspective in the bigger scheme of his life and faith. But fighting does motivate him greatly. At 36, he's still gunning for championship gold. Saturday's win snapped a two fight skid, and steered his momentum around. "I know I'm old, but man this felt like my first fight. I felt like there's so much to learn," Dariush said. "It felt good to be the last old man standing. But I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon. ... You could be doing this forever. But if your heart is not in it and you're not focused and you don't have a desire to be a champion, leave. I have a desire to be champion. I would not be here just to fight just for another fight. If it was just for money, I wouldn't be here. It's to be champion. God put a desire in me, and that's what I want."

Video: Sean Strickland rushes cage, punches regional fighter in head after taunt
A post shared by Tuff-N-Uff The Future 🌟 of MMA (@tuffnuff) Sean Strickland threw punches inside the cage Sunday in Las Vegas and he wasn't even scheduled to fight. At Tuff-N-Uff 145, Strickland cornered teammate Miles Hunsinger against Luis Hernandez in a battle of unbeaten middleweights. As Hunsinger (7-1) grabbed hold in the clinch, he stuck his neck out too far and got caught in a standing guillotine choke by Hernandez (6-0). While he had the choke on, Hernandez stuck his tongue out in the direction of Hunsinger's corner, which included Strickland and fellow UFC fighter Chris Curtis. Immediately following the tap, Hernandez taunted Hunsinger's corner again with middle fingers and a pair of obscene gestures toward his crotch. Strickland and Curtis immediately stormed the cage. While Curtis grabbed hold of Hernandez, Strickland threw two over-the-top right hands that connected on Hernandez. Commission and promotion officials intervened before more chaos could ensue. Given Strickland was a licensed cornerman for the event, the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) could suspend his license as not only a "second" (cornerman), but also as a fighter. It's unclear at this time if Strickland will face any disciplinary action.
