UFC 314: Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes: Main card, start time, main event walkouts, and more

UFC 314, one of the most anticipated pay-per-view cards of the year, takes place this Saturday on April 12. Every single bout is scheduled for three, five-minute, rounds, with the exception of the main event and co-main event. The main card begins at light heavyweight.

Longtime 205-pound mainstay Nikita Krylov faces ex-light heavyweight title challenger Dominick Reyes, who only recently snapped a three-fight skid. Afterward, at featherweight, the division's former interim champion Yair Rodríguez, welcomes promotional debutant Patrício 'Pitbull' Freire.

Freire arrives as a former Bellator featherweight and lightweight champion, with intent to capture UFC gold. His bout with Rodríguez is followed by another featherweight matchup, a grudge match, in fact, between the heavy-handed Jean Silva and grappler extraordinaire Bryce Mitchell.

Then, in the co-headliner, Michael Chandler, an ex-UFC lightweight title challenger and former three-time Bellator lightweight champion, faces the rising Paddy Pimblett at lightweight. They compete over five, five-minute rounds. Finally, there is the main event itself.

Former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski compete with action fighter Diego Lopes in a five-round contest for the vacant featherweight title.
