Alexander Volkanovski is just the second two-time featherweight champion in history after regaining gold with a win over Diego Lopes in Saturday’s UFC 314 headliner.

After Ilia Topuria vacated the strap to move up to lightweight, Volkanovski (27-4 MMA, 14-3 UFC) reassumed his position at the top of the 145-pound division with a unanimous decision victory over Lopes (26-7 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in the main event at Kaseya Center in Miami.

It’s Volkanovski’s first victory since July 2023 after he was knocked out by Topuria and Islam Makhachev in consecutive fights.

Check below for the top X (formerly Twitter) reactions to Volkanovski’s title triumph over Lopes at UFC 314.
