Ilia Topuria vacated his title so this is why we have this main event for UFC 314.
Topuria is now looking to move up to lightweight to seek a title fight with Makhachev.
He has also revealed that he will be changing his nickname to La Leyenda for his next fight.

Well he has to believe what his capable of and he does that's why he calls himself The Legend.
Is he really going to fight Islam right away without fighting someone first like Tsarukyan? Looks like he is going to skip everyone and move to Welterweight if he ever slam Islam. Topuria fighting Oliveira would be interesting to watch too if he is to fight twice every year. Either of these two before Islam for the title.

Nah, they won't give him a title shot straight away. UFC wants to make more money so they will probably have him fight Justin Gaethje (because they don't call him The Highlight for nothing) or Charles do Bronx Oliveira first.

Hehehehe this is a very headshaking speculation. Why would Ilia Topuria remove himself from being the champion of the UFC's featherweight division to only fight Justin Gaethje or Charles Oliveira? This certainly will be a very stupid decision for Ilia's team if this is true or a stupid mistake for uncle Dana if he will force Ilia to fight Justin or Do Bronx.
I speculate that Ilia Topuria removed himself from being featherweight champion because he wants to be the lightweight champion on his next fight. Ilia's team might have discovered a weakness on Islam.

The UFC decides who their opponents will be and if it makes them the most money then they will basically tell them to go that route even if their coach and team do not want it. This will be viewed as being scared and frowned upon by Mr. White.
This can be seen of what eventually caused Francus Ngannou to leave the UFC. All you have to do is look at what is currently happening with Jon Jones and Aspinall.
It is all in a conflict of interest to the UFC when it comes down to it.
These matchups I have already explained can be viewed by the MMA expert TheWeasle who has been following the UFC for nearly a decade and posted this video on his next opponents a day after my post:

In 15 hours, the UFC Mexico ceremonial weigh-ins will happen.

I am excited about one of the fights on the list. Raul Rosas Jr. is on the main card and will be fighting Vince Morales. Raul won his last 3 fights and is showing a promising future because of his explosive finishes. TKO or submission, he can do it.

Rosas Jr, Raul - | Win @1.20 | By KO @6.40 | By Submission @3.20 | By Decision @1.89
Morales, Vince - | Win @4.60 | By KO @14.00 | By Submission @14.00 | By Decision @8.00
x1.20 is really low for profits, so I guess I will just parlay this with another fighter. Although I have not decided yet.

Love the odds on submission for Rosas Jr, its the second most probable outcome and i think morales wont be able to survive to go to the judges

Went with over rounds on the Rojas Jr. fight on my UFC acca for this awesome card in Mexico City!
