The UFC returns to the Kaseya Center in Miami for the fourth time at UFC 314.
In the main event, Alex Volkanovski takes on Diego Lopes for the vacant UFC featherweight title.
This will be Volkanovski’s 10th consecutive title fight as he looks to reclaim the belt after back-to-back knockout defeats.
Diego Lopes is coming into this fight on a five fight win streak. The Brazilian is currently the third ranked featherweight in the UFC.
In the co-main event (five rounds), veteran knockout artist Michael Chandler will fight surging British superstar Paddy Pimblett.
Elsewhere on the card, Mexico’s Yair Rodriguez welcomes Bellator legend Patricio “Pitbull” Freire to the UFC. Brazil’s Pitbull will be looking to make a statement against one of Volkanovski’s former opponents.
To kickoff the main card, number eight ranked Nikita Krylov faces the eleventh ranked Dominick Reyes, before Bryce Mitchell defends his number thirteen ranking against Jean Silva.

8:51 p.m. ET: It was more of the same in round two. Hooper showed great control in the grappling range, consistently transitioning from body locks, to pins, into leg entries. Miller seemed to be one step behind and will likely need a finish in round three.
8:44 p.m. ET: Miller was on a guillotine early in round one after Hooper pursued a takedown. The youngster escaped and then began attacking his own submissions from bottom position. Back-and-forth grappling scrambles ensued before Hooper backpacked Miller.
8:33 p.m. ET: The old-guard looks to hold ground against a rising prospect when Jim Miller fights Chase Hooper coming up next.
8:22 p.m. ET: Elkins relentlessly pursued the takedown in round one, but after being dropped multiple times the referee waived the contest off, awarding Erosa with the TKO victory. It was an up-kick from bottom position which initially stunned Elkins. From there, a series of fight-ending strikes landed with precision, putting away the mixed martial arts veteran.

7:42 p.m. ET: Oleksiejczuk was ultra-aggressive from the opening bell, walking his man down and lining up the left-hand, which was a weapon that landed consistently throughout the fight. Dumas tried to maintain distance, but the Polish middleweight snuck one too many devastating shots through the guard and ground-and-pounded his way to a first-round victory.
