We are days away from the next UFC Pay-Per-View event with all kinds of different scenarios that take place from Miami. In the main event, former champion Alexander Volkanovski seeks to recover the featherweight vacant belt against the first title of title Diego Lopes.
The featherweight division is well represented at UFC 314 while the former actual champion Yair Rodriguez defends his first classification against the ventilation of Patricio Pitbull, a two division champion in Bellator.
Bryce Mitchell against Jean Silva is also on the map, the featherweights that went there during the UFC 314 press conference on Thursday.

Diego Lopes dissected Yair Rodriguez on the two fights losing the skid
The combatants who had to be separated by security were Yair Rodriguez and Diego Lopes, potential opponents at 145 pounds with an apparent story.
If they won both on Saturday, a journalist asked Lopes if he would entertain a fight with Rodriguez de Chihuahua in Noche UFC 3 (UFC 316) in Guadalajara, Mexico, given the fact that the Lopes of Brazil also represent Mexico, which Rodriguez did not like the media day as much.
Lopes asked the journalist how many defeats from Rodriguez.
The journalist responded two in Spanish because Rodriguez had lost against Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega.
“It is not enough,” said Lopes about Rodriguez who fights again for the title.

Pulling back, Rodriguez called Lopes a “P ****” in Spanish, triggering a quarrel in the meter.
The translator was left speechless.

Beltran is a teammate from Rodriguez and he fought Lopes in 2019. Lopes defeated Beltran by Kneebar to defend his title Lux in Mexico.
Rodriguez’s charges leave many unanswered questions, but it is sure to say that Rodriguez and Lopes have unfinished affairs, arguing in Spanish on the microphones.
“You will pay for Marco!” Rodriguez told Lopes.
“Do not talk about my team,” Lopes replied to Rodriguez’s charges.
Rodriguez and Lopes argued while Bryce Mitchell tried to take another question from the media.
The feathered weights continued to bicker even after the UFC 314 press conference, had ended with Alexander Volkanovski standing.
UFC security has done its job, preventing a fight between UFC stars which are not even fighting this weekend.
