A UFC featherweight title fight is headed to Miami – but Ilia Topuria is not included. In the UFC 314 main event,  Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes will compete for the vacant featherweight title, the promotion announced Wednesday. The event takes place April 12 at Kaseya Center in Miami. The current titleholder Topuria will vacate his title upon the first punch and move up to lightweight later this year against an opponent to be announced. “Topuria has felt like he’s done all he can in that division, and he feels like he’s cemented his legacy, and his body cannot make the weight anymore,” UFC CEO Dana White said.
