Before the loss to Topuria, Volkanovski lost a short-notice lightweight title rematch with Makhachev at UFC 294. He’s lost back-to-back fights for the first time in his career after a dominant reign as the UFC’s featherweight titleholder.

UFC middleweight Bo Nickal has seemingly spilled the beans about the title fight that will main event UFC 314 in April, despite the fight not being officially announced by the company.
