Much was made of the age difference \u2014 Volk was 36 and Lopes is 30, and in the lower weightclasses, being over 35 is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2025\/4\/12\/24404294\/ufc-314-alexander-volkanovski-michael-chandler-face-final-ride-of-old-dogs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">practically a death sentence.<\/a> But \u201cThe Great\u201d lived up to his nickname and put on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/2025\/4\/13\/24406964\/highlights-alexander-volkanovski-turns-back-clock-and-stymies-diego-lopes-ufc-314\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">dominant performance against Lopes,<\/a> winning the fight with 49-46,49-46, and 48-47 scores.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Since then, Lopes has gone out and defeated another top featherweight contender in Jean Silva, TKOing the Fighting Nerds standout with a spinning back elbow. That win in the main event at Noche UFC 2025 was impactful enough to shoot him right back into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-news\/406163\/ufc-325-official-jan-31-sydney-volkanovski-vs-lopes-2-mustache-season-coming\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">another title shot with Volkanovski,<\/a> who hasn\u2019t competed since winning the belt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The date: January 31st. The event: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-fight-cards\/408597\/ufc-325-fight-card-volkanovski-vs-lopes-2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UFC 325<\/a> in Sydney, Australia. The poster: lean, mean, and green. Take a look at the UFC 325 poster that was just released below:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">UFC posters are always a controversial topic amongst fans. The graphic design department gets a ton of flack for recycling formats, layouts, and color schemes. Those hoping for a new look coming into 2026\u2019s Paramount CBS era are sure to be disappointed. The poster does captures the essence of the fight, though. Lopes is facing a massive task in Sydney, Australia. With Ilia Topuria gone, Volkanovski is once again the big unbeatable baddy at 145, and Diego will have to prove he\u2019s made big changes in 10 months if he wants to stand a chance in January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">While the UFC 325 poster only features Volkanovski and Lopes, the card itself <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-news\/408435\/hooker-vs-saint-denis-full-16-fight-ufc-325-card-released-for-sydney-australia\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">is a 16-fight monster<\/a> that also features Dan Hooker s. Benoit Saint Denis, Rafael Fiziev vs. Mauricio Ruffy, and the return of Tai Tuivasa vs. Tallison Teixeira.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">All of this will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-paramount-plus-news-hub-fight-cards-schedule\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">aired on Paramount+<\/a> in the United States with no extra charge for existing subscribers. With this event coming just a week after UFC 324 in Las Vegas, you can\u2019t say the UFC on Paramount CBS era isn\u2019t starting with a bang!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Back in April 2025, Alexander Volkanovski regained his featherweight belt when he fought for the vacant title against&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":370989,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,785,85,179146,101248],"class_list":["post-370988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc-on-paramount","tag-ufc-posters"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=370988"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370988\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/370989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=370988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=370988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=370988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
