The UFC has recently has a strong track record when it comes to producing a stacked map and iconic moments when the Octagon arrives in Miami, making the Kaseya center the place to be on April 12.
Before he took the walk last Saturday evening, Alexander Volkanovski shared a warm interaction with a colleague Aussie who had come to support him.
The UFC 314 broadcast showed a whole list of remarkable names that were present so far for the largest map of the year, while WWE's Rhea Ripley received a doll from the crowd.
Ripley, who will compete for the world championship of the ladies on Night Two or Wrestlemania 41 this coming weekend in Las Vegas, took the action together with her husband, AEW's Buddy Murphy.
The WWE star wore a Volkanovski shirt while she looked at 'The Great' to aim a fight of the night with the rising Diego Lopes.
Volkanovski came overly on the score cards after defending various statistics that suggested how difficult it would be for the 36-year-old to climb back to the top.
Ripley later shared a video, originally posted by Jzosports, on her Instagram story that recorded her passionate response to the score cards announced after the conclusion of the main event and wrote: “Can you see that we were hyped?”
Alexander Volkanovski broke the 35 or older curse on UFC 314

He also did it while he came from successive knockout losses that led him to wonder if he would ever compete again at the highest level, making his return to the top even more impressive.
The special career of Volkanovski continues and it does not look like he delays a long time after having rejected a number of heavy storms in recent times.
