UFC 325: What Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes Can Change in Rematch
- On Saturday, Alexander Volkanovski will headline UFC 325 in Sydney, signaling a more-aggressive gameplan for his rematch with Diego Lopes nine months after their first fight.
- Having seen his form dip in recent years, Volkanovski suffered back-to-back knockouts by Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria, who knocked him out in February 2024 before vacating the title for Volkanovski’s vacant-title win over Diego Lopes.
- Volkanovski plans to secure takedowns and grind opponents on the mat, sitting on two or three ground-and-pound shots while mixing heavy strikes to seek a stoppage.
- Lopes, 27-7 with 12 submission wins and 11 KO/TKOs, bounced back with a stoppage of Jean Silva and previously dropped Volkanovski, showing his finishing capacity.
- A decisive outcome in Sydney could reshape the UFC featherweight title picture, as Alexander Volkanovski, two-time champion with a 27-4 record, defends his status in this rematch.
