UFC 317 saw the emergence of potential new contenders in two divisions. Ilia Topuria is injecting fresh energy into the lightweight scene. His recent performances suggest he's ready to challenge the established order. Similarly, Joshua Van's arrival in the men's flyweight division is generating considerable buzz. His skill set and fighting style offer a compelling contrast to the current champions and top-ranked fighters. Both Topuria and Van represent a welcomed influx of talent and promise exciting future matchups.
