UFC 325: Volkanovski vs. Lopes 2 Fight Preview & Odds
The UFC carries its momentum from UFC 324 into Australia, where Alexander Volkanovski defends his title against the rising Diego Lopes. A stacked card featuring Dan Hooker, Benoît Saint-Denis, and Tai Tuivasa adds to an already must-watch event.
Volkanovski vs Diego Lopes Headlines Massive UFC Australia Card
The UFC kicked off a new chapter with Paramount following an electric night at UFC 324, highlighted by standout performances from Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett. Some are already calling it an early Fight of the Year contender, but the promotion isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The UFC now heads back to Australia for another massive championship bout, where hometown favorite Alexander Volkanovski faces the surging Diego Lopes in a high-stakes rematch.
There’s a six-year age gap between the two fighters, and Volkanovski has plenty of miles on his résumé—but he’ll have the crowd firmly behind him as he looks to prove he’s still the best featherweight in the world. Lopes, meanwhile, appears to have the tools and confidence to potentially shift the division’s balance of power and bring the belt back to the Americas. Expect fireworks, with another Fight of the Year candidate firmly on the table.
The card is stacked beyond the main event. Fan favorite Dan Hooker clashes with France’s Benoît Saint-Denis, while Rafael Fiziev continues his comeback against Brazil’s Mauricio Ruffy. Heavyweight action sees local powerhouse Tai Tuivasa take on Tallison Teixeira in what promises to be another crowd-pleasing showdown. It’s a loaded second half of the card with serious knockout potential.
