Rumors Swirl Over Alexander Volkanovski and Ilia Topuria Rematch at UFC 314

Speculation continues as conflicting reports emerge about the potential featherweight title rematch in Miami this April.

Bo Nickal, a rising UFC middleweight, claimed on his YouTube channel that a rematch between Ilia Topuria and Alexander Volkanovski is 'official' for UFC 314 in April, but later backtracked on social media.
Topuria defeated Volkanovski in February 2024 via knockout, ending Volkanovski's three-year reign as featherweight champion, and has since defended the title against Max Holloway.
The rematch, if confirmed, would be a critical opportunity for Volkanovski, 36, to reclaim his title and potentially overcome the challenges older fighters face in lower-weight championship bouts.
Topuria, unbeaten in his MMA career, has hinted at a move to the lightweight division but remains a dominant force in featherweight, with his knockout wins over Volkanovski and Holloway solidifying his legacy.
No official announcement has been made by the UFC, leaving fans eager for clarity on whether this highly anticipated rematch will headline UFC 314 in Miami.
