Volkanovski-Lopes rematch anchors UFC 325 as Sydney hosts five key storylines

UFC 325 lands in Sydney with Alexander Volkanovski defending the featherweight title against Diego Lopes in a rematch at Qudos Bank Arena, while five major angles shape the card: Volkanovski’s continued reign at 37 and potential to tie Aldo’s featherweight title record; Lopes bringing a more calculated, dangerous approach after their first bout; Benoit Saint-Denis as a revitalized, finishing-minded lightweight threat; Tai Tuivasa facing a must-win on home soil after a long layoff and skid; and several pivotal lightweight bouts on the main card (Fiziev vs. Ruffy, Salkilld vs. Mullarkey) that could influence title contention and the division’s landscape.
