Alexander Volkanovski is ready to destroy Diego Lopes and his world championship.
The MMA world was turned upside down by Dana White and announced a lot of huge new on Wednesday evening.
The most striking thing is that the UFC boss revealed that 16-0 superstar Ilia Topuria left its featherweight title.
White also confirmed that 145LB gold will be on the line when Volkanovski vs Lopes on April 12 UFC 314 in Miami in Miami.
