Saturday will represent the 36-year-old Volkanovski’s seventh title fight in the featherweight division. He is 6-1 in such fights, losing his title to Topuria in early 2024, as previously mentioned.
Lopes, 30, will fight for featherweight gold for the first time.
After Topuria wrested the belt from Volkanovski, he defended it once, knocking out Max Holloway at UFC 308 in October 2024. Topuria has since vacated the title and moved up to lightweight, leaving Volkanovski and Lopes to fight for the vacant belt.
Also on the card, former lightweight title challenger Michael Chandler will take on rising star Paddy Pimblett, and Patricio Freire will make his UFC featherweight debut against former title challenger Yair Rodriguez.
