UFC 314 held in Miami this weekend
UFC 314 takes place this Saturday, April 12, at the Kaseya Center in Miami, with a stacked card featuring two huge bouts in the featherweight and lightweight divisions.
Alexander Volkanovski returns in search of another run at gold as he faces Diego Lopes for the vacant featherweight title, while Paddy Pimblett takes on Michael Chandler in his biggest test yet in the co-main event of the evening.
Paddy Power have boosted Paddy the Baddy to 50/1 to beat Michael Chandler on Saturday night with his current normal odds at 4/6 for the victory.
Featured Fight: Volkanovski vs Diego Lopes
After losing the featherweight crown to Ilia Topuria last February, Alexander Volkanovski returns looking to recapture the belt.
With Topuria now stepping up to lightweight, the title is vacant, setting up this matchup against Brazilian star Diego Lopes.
Volkanovski is priced at 8/11 (57.9%) to win, but Lopes, who has stopped three of his last four opponents, represents real danger and is available at 11/10 (47.6%). Punters backing the underdog may see value in method-of-victory markets, especially inside the distance.

Co-Main: Paddy Pimblett vs Michael Chandler
Paddy Pimblett remains unbeaten in the UFC and enters his biggest test to date against American powerhouse Michael Chandler this weekend.
This bout could launch Pimblett into the lightweight top 10 with a win, but Chandler’s aggressive style and knockout power make this a coin-flip for many fans.
Expect plenty of action in the bout, with the fight not going the distance priced short across most bookmakers.
