Related Topics: Alex Volkanovski, UFC, Diego Lopes

The Ultimate Fighting Championship will return to Miami with UFC 314, which serves up a stacked main card full of interesting bouts on Saturday at the Kaseya Center. It’s moving night in the featherweight division. Ilia Topuria chose to vacate his title to relocate to lightweight, so former champion Alexander Volkanovski takes on surprising upstart Diego Lopes to fill the empty seat in the main event. Beyond that, Jean Silva can punch his ticket as a contender to watch against Bryce Mitchell, but the most interesting match of the bunch might involve the UFC debut of Bellator MMA great Patricio Freire, who can become an immediate threat at the top of the weight class with a win over Yair Rodriguez.
