- The president of the UFC, Dana White
- He also published an important update for fans who want Tom Aspinall against Jon Jones
- Jones had already seemed to be distant from the heavy force test
Dana White went to Instagram live with three major title fights announced on Tuesday evening.
The president of the UFC began by declaring that hea Topuria, the featherweight champion, will face Charles Oliveira for the light belt.
Topuria has become one of the biggest sports stars and already offers an offer to become a double champion, after winning the title at 145 pounds.
This will be at the head of International Combat Week on June 28 in Las Vegas, with Alexandre Pantoja vs Kai Kara-France for the fly weight title by winning the niche of the main event.
Topuria vs oliveira can only take place for the light title, because Islam Makhachev has left the belt.
He will go to Welters weights to face Jack Della Maddalena to have a chance to become a double champion himself.

Islam Makhachev cancels his light belt and heads towards Jack Della Maddalena
Maddalena was fresh out of her five laps victory against Belal Muhammad at UFC 315 last Saturday, so the date and location of his battle with the Russian have not yet been announced.
On August 18, Dricus du Plessis will put his average weight belt on the line against the undefeated sensation Khamzat Chimaev.
Availability was the main problem for Chimaev, who fought with his health and the consequences of Covid, while having weight problems.
There should not be such problems for him in Middleweight, where he faces the South African champion, who has also been undefeated since he joined the UFC.
On the live flow, many fans commented, asking the president of the UFC if they can expect an announcement for Tom Aspinall against Jon Jones.
White said, “I have already told you guys, we’re going to do aspinall vs jones. The heavyweight fight will occur. Relax, I’m going to announce this soon.
His confidence should put Aspinall and fans at ease, Jones never committing publicly in the fight.
On Tuesday, he retaliated against the fans accusing him of making the match, while driving on a motorcycle during a live flow.

Tom Aspinall will be reassured by White’s update on his potential fight with Jon Jones
He said, “I have people in the cat who call me a duck. In the meantime, I live my best absolute life.
“I don’t know if it’s considered to dodge when you live well. I don’t think it works like that.
It seems that the competition should take place towards the end of the year and that Aspinall tires of waiting – it is therefore unlikely that it clings much longer before moving to a different opponent.
