The fight night will be headlined by the Featherweight title fight between Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lupes. Moreover, Michael Chandler and Paddy Pimblett will lock horns in the co-main event. Besides the marquee 5-round fights, the card will feature an interesting match-up between Yair Rodriguez and Patricio Pitbull. Former UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya has paid heed to the stacked-up card and gave special attention to the featherweight bout between Bryce Mitchell and Jean Silva.

Israel Adesanya Picks the Winner of Bryce Mitchell vs Jean Silva UFC 314 Bout
While the odds heavily favour Silva to come out as the winner, the Last Stylebender has backed Mitchell to emerge victorious.
“I’m going to go Bryce because of the experience, but I would not be surprised if Jean goes in there and just f***ing does work,” Adesanya said. “Bryce, good striker, but sometimes when he can’t manage the distance properly, he starts to shoot from a distance that isn’t really going to get success. Jean, I love the way he manages his distance, and he’s able to just find it.
“There’s a little bit of beef; it’s kind of cool to see because it’s going to get them heated up, but just off experience I’m going to go Bryce because he’s been in there with some of the best. Even though he lost, it’s his experience, and Bryce is no joke, man. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jean takes this one, but official bet, I’m going to go Bryce Mitchell. I’m going to go decision.”
Silva has been on a 12-fight tear. He hasn’t lost a bout since April 2018. Following an impressive showing on “Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series,” The Fighting Nerds standout earned a UFC contract and he has gone 4-0 under the promotion.
