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.

Dana White and co. will have fingers crossed that there isn't a repeat of the late withdrawal in LA when they head Down Under for UFC 312.

Alexander Volkanovski will attempt to win back his UFC Featherweight title against Ilia Topuria at UFC 314, according to Bo Nickal.

Bo Nickal has risked the wrath of Dana White by revealing the main event for UFC 314, despite it not being officially announced.
