The reign of Ilia Topuria as a featherweight champion of the UFC is already over.
The CEO of the UFC, Dana White, announced Wednesday evening that Topuria had decided to leave her title. Consequently, the former featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and the best competitor Diego Lopes are ready to fight to become the new Beltholder of 145 pounds during the main event for the return of promotion to Kaseya Center in Miami on April 12 at UFC 314.
White said Topuria has the impression of having cemented her heritage at 145 pounds and that her body can no longer make the featherweight limit.

The Prates du Brazil won 11 consecutive fights, four of which came to the UFC in 2024.
