Of course, there’s a lot of excitement brewing for this encounter. Volkanovski is a former champion in his own right, whereas Lopes is arguably one of the most exciting contenders out there in all of mixed martial arts right now.
In a recent series of tweets, Aljamain Sterling gave his thoughts on who he believes will walk away from UFC 314 with the gold wrapped around their waist.
Definitely should’ve been Movsar but of course, no fighter in their rightful mind, will ever turn down a title shot because they think “it’s the right thing to do”, so that someone more deserving gets it https://t.co/ZjXVqvxPCV

Some ppl actually watch fights and break them down. It’ll be a fun fight because of how Lopes fights but if Lopes doesn’t clean up these holes, then Volk will regain the title. Your post is an honest assessment of his past few fights, not including the Ortega fight of course. 🍻 https://t.co/vpfMci85Mb
