Top MMA coach issues prediction for Ilia Topuria vs. Charles Oliveira fight at UFC 317

Ilia Topuria relinquished his UFC featherweight title to move up to the lightweight division. On his return to the 155-pound weight class, 'El Matador' will be fighting former champion Charles Oliveira, who is known to be a very strong grappler.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, John Wood, coach of Merab Dvalishvili, made his prediction for the UFC 317 main event, saying:

"You gotta go with Ilia on that one... Charles is a fantastic fighter, he's getting a little up there in age and wear and tear. He's definitely not on the downside of anything yet, but Ilia is still very much on the come-up. Again, we're talking about somebody coming up a weight class."

He added:

"Is Ilia going to have problems with the size? I think his power is only gonna get better, and I think his skill set for this fight is gonna be just fine in being able to handle what Charles brings. We've seen Oliveira have tendencies to get touched in fights, and I think if you're in there with somebody like Ilia, and he touches you a few times, it's gonna be night-night. So, I would lean more IIia in this one for sure."
