Tonight from Sydney, Australia, and Qudos Bank Arena is UFC 325, headlined by a rematch nine months in the making between Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes. Volkanovski attempts to defend his title for the first time in his second UFC Featherweight Championship stint and likely end the series with Lopes altogether.

The controversy around the rematch is apparent. Volkanovski won the first fight by unanimous decision with little issue, while Lopes needed only one win against Jean Silva last September to insert himself back into the title picture instead of granting No. 1 Movsar Evloev a fight against Volkanovski to reset the top of the division to start the year.

Nonetheless, though, the rematch remains a go, and Volkanovski will have a chance for yet another signature win.

Volkanovski even has a plan after he beats Lopes, too. It isn't about fighting, either.

"I need to actually [get] a bulldozer on the farm, but maybe I can go out there, do my thing, get a bonus, and then maybe buy myself a bulldozer for the farm," Volkanovski told reporters. "Bobcat, whatever."

Lopes wants to shock the world, though, feeling no pressure entering the rematch.

"Oh yeah, I think the respect... is always good, no? Because there was no need to talk [trash] to put a great show for you guys," Lopes said. "Put the show in the Octagon, not outside. So yeah, I think Volk has great experience, you know, he [has] a lot of fights in UFC, he is so smart. But I think this time [is] my time to take the belt."

Lopes enters the fight as a +125 underdog at DraftKings Sportsbook, while Volkanovski is a -150 favorite as of Saturday evening.

Volkanovski hasn't secured a successful title defense since July 2023, when he secured a third-round TKO at UFC 276 against Yair Rodriguez in the night's headliner.
