Volkanovski needs a win and fast. Nicknamed the Great, the 38-year-old has been knocked out in his two most recent fights, which came within four months of each other in October 2023 and November 2024 to Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria respectively. Topuria vacated the featherweight belt after moving up to lightweight and the fleet-of-foot Volkanovski is desperate to regain the crown he held for more than four years.
Lopes, meanwhile, is a 5ft 11in Jiu-Jitsu specialist from Brazil who will have the confidence only a five-fight winning run can give coursing through his veins. The 30-year-old may not be the best technician the Octagon has ever seen, but he is strong and a good brawler and will certainly make life difficult for his Australian opponent.
On a stacked undercard, Liverpool lightweight Paddy Pimblett faces former title challenger Michael Chandler in the co-main event. The Baddy is one of the biggest characters in UFC.

It’s on regular TNT Sports in the U.K., for instance. Worth knowing if you’re a British citizen away from home, because you can use a VPN to watch UFC 314 on TNT Sports as usual. We’d recommend NordVPN.
