UFC 314 is shaping up to be an absolutely stacked fight card.
The event is set for April 12 at Kaseya Center in Miami, Fla., and is headlined by Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes for the vacant featherweight title. A new champion will be crowned following Ilia Topuria vacating the title to move up to the lightweight division.
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. In the co-main event, Michael Chandler meets 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, while Nikita Krylov meets one-time title challenger 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 ESPN 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.
