In the UFC 314 main event at the Kaseya Center, Alexander Volkanovski secured the vacant featherweight title against Diego Lopes. Volkanovski, despite being a seasoned fighter at 36, faced adversity, notably losing vision in his left eye due to a significant blow from Lopes. He acknowledged this moment of danger but managed to stabilize and ultimately win by unanimous decision, marking his 10th consecutive title fight victory. Lopes, on a five-fight winning streak, showcased moments of skill, but Volkanovski's experience and strategic fighting prevailed overall.
I completely lost vision in my left eye... It was a good shot and I just could not see. Slowly come back a little bit.
Lopes had his moments, but Volkanovski appeared to be in his prime at 36 years of age while cruising to a unanimous decision win.
