UFC 314 is shaping up to be a rich and spectacular tournament.
The event will take place on April 12 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, and the main event will be Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes for the vacant featherweight title. A new champion will be crowned because Ilia Topuria vacated the title to move to lightweight.
During Saturday’s UFC 313 fight card, the promotion revealed the full lineup for the main featured preliminary card for the April pay-per-view event. The co-main event will feature Michael Chandler against Paddy Pimblett in a five-round lightweight battle.
The rest of the main card includes Bryce Mitchell vs. Jean Silva in a featherweight contest, a welterweight clash between Carlos Prates and Geoff Neal, and Nikita Krylov vs. Dominick Reyes in the light heavyweight pay-per-view opener.
The featured preliminary bout will be former interim featherweight champ Yair Rodriguez welcoming former Bellator two-division champ Patricio Pitbull to the UFC. The rest of the televised portion of the card includes Dan Ige vs. Sean Woodson, a pivotal strawweight matchup between Yan Xiaonan and Virna Jandiroba, and a lightweight matchup between Jim Miller and Chase Hooper.
