UFC 314: Volkanovski vs Lopes took place on Sunday, April 13, live from the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, USA, with a capacity crowd of 18,287 fans and a record-breaking gate of $11.5 million USD — making it UFC’s third straight event to top the venue’s all-time grossing list.

In the main event, Alexander Volkanovski reclaimed the vacant UFC Featherweight Championship with a masterful five-round performance against rising star Diego Lopes. Despite coming off two knockout losses, the 36-year-old proved his resilience and elite skill, becoming the second man after Jose Aldo to hold the featherweight title twice.

The co-main event saw Paddy Pimblett put on a career-defining performance, stopping former title contender Michael Chandler via TKO in the third round. Pimblett used a strategic mix of striking and grappling to take control early and never let up.

China’s Sumudaerji returned to the win column with a split-decision victory over Mitch Raposo, while Virna Jandiroba defeated #1 ranked Yan Xiaonan, likely securing a future title shot against strawweight champion Zhang Weili.
