Description
UFC 325: Volkanovski vs. Lopes 2 is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on February 1, 2026, at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia.
The event will mark the promotion's eighth visit to Sydney and first since UFC 312 in February 2025.
A UFC Featherweight Championship rematch between reigning two-time champion Alexander Volkanovski and former title challenger Diego Lopes is scheduled to headline the event. The pair previously met at UFC 314 in April 2025, where Volkanovski captured the vacant championship with a unanimous decision victory.
A welterweight bout between Oban Elliott and Jonathan Micallef is scheduled for the event. The pairing was originally expected to take place at UFC Fight Night: Ulberg vs. Reyes in September 2025, but was cancelled less than 48 hours before the event after Elliott withdrew due to illness.
A heavyweight bout between Serghei Spivac and 2022 PFL Heavyweight Tournament winner Ante Delija was initially scheduled for this event. The bout was later rescheduled to UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs. Hernandez in February.
A lightweight bout between Road to UFC Season 2 lightweight tournament winner Rong Zhu and Quillan Salkilld was originally scheduled for this event. However, Rong withdrew for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Jamie Mullarkey.
A light heavyweight bout between Jimmy Crute and Dustin Jacoby was scheduled for this event. However, Crute withdrew due to a ruptured ACL and the bout was cancelled. Jacoby was then re-scheduled to compete the following week at UFC Fight Night: Bautista vs. Oliveira.
Additionally, three Road to UFC Season 4 finals are scheduled to take place at the event. The flyweight tournament final between Aaron Tau and Namsrai Batbayar was also scheduled for the event. At the weigh-ins, Tau initially used a curtained privacy box and weighed in at 122.5 pounds, 3.5 pounds under the flyweight non-title fight limit. When asked for a second attempt without the box, he then weighed in at 129 pounds, three pounds over the limit, resulting in the cancellation of the bout.
