Dana White Says Ilia Topuria Could Possibly Fight on First UFC Paramount Card

“Matchmaking happened today. We’ve started working on the first Paramount card…(Ilia Topuria expected to fight on it) It’s a possibility,” White said. Earlier this year, the UFC signed a $7.7 billion, 7-year broadcast deal with Paramount, starting Jan, 2026. After winning the lightweight title by defeating Charles Oliveira, Topuria is now set to defend it, saying he’s “ready for anyone.”
