Diego Lopes and Paddy Pimblett look for breakthrough wins at UFC 314
Diego Lopes' rise in the featherweight rankings has led to an unexpected title shot due to Ilia Topuria vacating the throne.
Lopes has won five consecutive fights, including three inside the distance. The Brazilian-born fighter has an opportunity to add the legendary Alexander Volkanovski to his resume.
Volkanovski, a former UFC champion, faces several questions about his future after suffering consecutive knockout losses against Islam Makhachev and Topuria.
Meanwhile, Paddy Pimblett has stitched a 6-0 promotional record, including four wins inside the distance. He has never fought anyone in the UFC as dangerous as Michael Chandler. The former lightweight title challenger believes he will slow down Pimblett's momentum and leave with a win.
