The UFC is back in South Florida this week with UFC 314 in Miami.

Here’s how to watch UFC 314 with the newly vacant featherweight title on the line at the top of the card.

Broadcast and streaming info

Megan Olivi, UFC 284

UFC 314 has a main card that starts at 10 p.m. ET on pay-per-view via ESPN+. The preliminary card airs on ESPN and streams on ESPN+ at 8 p.m. ET, and early prelims stream on ESPN+ at 6 p.m. ET.

Longtime UFC correspondent Megan Olivi will conduct pre and post-fight interviews backstage with some of the athletes on the UFC 314 card, as well as report additional real-time updates for the event.

Dan Hellie will host the official UFC 314 weigh-in show on Friday at 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT.

He’ll be joined by UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier, former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman and Laura Sanko.

Former interim UFC lightweight champion Dustin Poirier, two-time UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen and light heavyweight Anthony Smith will serve as desk analysts on the UFC 314 post-fight show and throughout the card, when necessary.

Brett Okamoto will serve as desk host with Jon Anik joining the desk post-fight.

Anik will serve as the leading man on the mic from cageside at UFC 314.

He will command play-by-play alongside color commentators, former two-division UFC champion Cormier and Joe Rogan.

Din Thomas will also contribute to the broadcast as a coach-analyst.

(Mike Bohn—MMA Junkie)

Main event: Alexander Volkanovski

Record: 26-5 MMA, 13-4 UFCOpponent: Diego Lopes (27-6 MMA, 6-1 UFC)Division: FeatherweightKey wins: Yair Rodriguez, Max Holloway (three times), Chan Sung Jung, Brian Ortega, Jose AldoMisc.: It’s been a rough past couple years for the former champ, but he still finds himself right back in a title fight. He lost two lightweight title shots to Islam Makhachev – the second of which came on short notice. Then he lost his featherweight title to Ilia Topuria. But Topuria is headed to lightweight and vacated the belt, so who better than to have a crack at it than the ex-champ, the UFC brass figured.

Main event: Diego Lopes

Record: 27-6 MMA, 6-1 UFCOpponent: Alexander Volkanovski (26-5 MMA, 13-4 UFC)Division: FeatherweightKey wins: Brian Ortega, Dan Ige, Sodiq Yusuff, Pat SabatiniMisc.: Lopes’ win over ex-title challenger Ortega this past fall put him in perfect position to get the call when Topuria moved up and the featherweight belt became open.

Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes, UFC 314 news conference

Co-main event: Michael Chandler

Record: 23-9 MMA, 2-4 UFCOpponent: Paddy Pimblett (22-3 MMA, 6-0 UFC)Division: LightweightKey wins: Tony Ferguson, Dan Hooker, Benson Henderson (twice in Bellator), Patricky Freire (twice in Bellator), Eddie Alvarez (2011 in Bellator)Misc.: Has lost four of five, but remains a fan favorite for his willingness to sacrifice blood and perhaps future coherence in the name of entertainment. For that reason, title contention remains ever-present with a win. But a loss to Pimblett would push him toward that on-the-way-out territory experienced by Tony Ferguson, Donald Cerrone and others – fun at the dance, sure, but no longer a candidate for prom king.

Co-main event: Paddy Pimblett

Record: 22-3 MMA, 6-0 UFCOpponent: Michael Chandler (23-9 MMA, 2-4 UFC)Division: LightweightKey wins: King Green, Tony FergusonMisc.: Former Cage Warriors champion has been perfect since his arrival to the UFC, and all four of his stoppage wins in the promotion have come with post-fight bonuses attached.

UFC debut: Patricio Freire

Record: 36-7Opponent: Yair Rodriguez (19-5 MMA, 10-4 UFC)Division: FeatherweightKey wins: Adam Borics, A.J. McKee, Emmanuel Sanchez, Michael ChandlerMisc.: Former two-division Bellator champion “Pitbull” Freire finally arrives in the UFC. He’s regarded as the best fighter in Bellator history – and even challenged for the bantamweight title there less than two years ago, meaning he has the potential to play around in three divisions.
