In addition to announcing many exciting bouts, the UFC boss also announced that current UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria would vacate his featherweight belt and move up to the lightweight division.

Topuria has decided to vacate his UFC featherweight title for a move up to lightweight. Cormier thinks Topuria, who competed as low as bantamweight early in his career, would be a fairly small lightweight in comparison to some of the top contenders.
