The vacant featherweight title is on the line at UFC 314 this weekend, as Alexander Volkanovski takes on Diego Lopes – after Paddy Pimblett fights Michael Chandler in a must-watch co-main event.
Volkanovski is aiming to become a two-time champion, having not fought since he lost the belt with a knockout by Ilia Topuria last February. But with Topuria relinquishing the gold two months ago, as he prepares to move up to lightweight, a new champion is needed at 145lb. With that, former long-reigning king Volkanovski will face Lopes.
