The fight everyone will be looking forward to on Saturday night will be the matchup between Alexander Volkanovski, who is 26-4-0, and Diego Lopes, who is 26-6-0, who will be facing off for the featherweight championship. The title is currently vacant because the former featherweight champion, Ilia Topuria, had to vacate it due to a change in weight class. Topuria defeated Volkanovski to earn the honor of being the UFC featherweight champion.

Another fight that promises to be a thriller tonight will feature Paddy Pimblett, who is 22-3-0 in his career, taking on fan-favorite Michael Chandler in the co-main event. This fight has huge implications as it could establish Pimblett as a true contender in the division. Meanwhile, the talented but mistake-prone Chandler could get his UFC career back on track with a good showing against the promising Pimblett.
25-year-old fighter Chase Hooper will take on veteran journeyman Jim Miller, who is 41 years old. That should be another entertaining fight, as the two have different fighting styles. The age difference also makes this an interesting fight, as it features a young up-and-comer against a seasoned vet.
The prelims for UFC 314 promise to be nearly as exciting as the main event. And lucky for UFC fans, the prelims can be watched for free on ESPN.
