None of the credible reporters have said anything yet.. it's coming, but just have to wait.

They haven't even announced a main event for UFC 317

Louisiana Boxing commission doesn't have anything listed yet

LINK

Just a little patience folks

Correct, nothing listed yet. What’s the SKC have listed on their calendar for 7/19? Nothing? Wonder why they’ve got nothing listed and it hasn’t been booked? Maybe because it is booked but the event hasn’t been announced yet? ??

Same. There the ones that have it reserved for 7/19. Guess you didn’t catch my sarcasm. When he’ll announce is coming soon…and how it’ll be done is pretty cool too.

Joe had Ilia on yesterday. Great interview, seems like a cool guy. Mentions he loved to see Volk get his title back, and he shits on Chandler pretty hard saying he was never really skilled

Also takes a shot at Belal saying hes to passive a fighter and he trains to win but not to dominate

Another interesting tidbit: Joe goes into a little bit of what happened with trying to get Fedor over to UFC, but says he cant say to much. Basically Fedor's team was full of Russian gangsters who wanted a piece of the promotion and the negotiations got so confrontational that Dana had to up his security. Said he would tell him more off air. Sounded really interesting i didnt know any of that

Topuria is on an insane confidence high that few athletes ever reach. I think he'd be shocked if he were to lose at this point. It might be interesting to see how he'd handle coming back from a loss, especially after talking such mad trash. But he'll never be as white hot as he is right now--unless he could beat Islam too.

Is there anyone else calling Islam out like this? All that talk about champions fighting anyone, anywhere, anytime, a gladiator doesn't choose his opponent, etc. Khabib and Islam thought it was such a great idea to call out Volkanovski, but now that it's the other way around and they are getting called out--Topuria is too little, doesn't deserve it, does nothing for Islam's legacy, has to prove himself first, they want to move up and fight JDM, or they think Gaethje is the fight to make.

Gaethje is awesome, but no way is that fight bigger than Islam vs. Topuria. Also Arman would give Islam a tougher fight than Gaethje, it's like a double cop out for them to be saying Gaethje before Arman now.

Joe also mentions Dana told him they want Islam to move up and fight Belal if Belal beats JDM in a few weeks, but Khabib dosen't want that because they train together and are friends.

Islam vs Belal isn't near as interesting as Topuria vs Islam IMO

Nothing is as interesting as Topuria vs. Islam right now. It's Conor-Khabib lite, except Topuria supposedly has good grappling, and Islam has better striking than Khabib. So it's possibly even a little bit more intricate than Conor-Khabib.

Topuria clearly wants it. Dana is not a fool, he knows that fight would make a ton of money. Khabib and Islam are the only ones downplaying it / talking it down.
