UFC 314 Fight Poster: Volkanovski vs. Lopes

MMA news

UFC 314 is just around the corner, and the official fight poster for this eagerly awaited event has been revealed by the UFC.

The main event of UFC’s return to Miami on April 12 features a title fight. Former UFC champion Alexander Volkanovski will face Diego Lopes for the vacant UFC featherweight championship. Ilia Topuria recently relinquished the belt to compete in the 155-pound lightweight division.

Another highlight on the poster is the lightweight bout between Michael Chandler and Paddy Pimblett, which will be a five-round co-main event. Chandler has experienced losses in four of his last five fights, while Pimblett is on an impressive eight-win streak, including a 6-0 record in the UFC.

The UFC 314 main card is packed with exciting matchups, including Bryce Mitchell versus Jean Silva in a featherweight contest, Geoff Neal against Carlos Prates in a welterweight fight, and Yair Rodriguez, a former interim featherweight champion, taking on Patricio Pitbull, a former two-division Bellator champion, in the opening fight of the pay-per-view main card.
