Main Event: Volkanovski vs Lopes 2
Featherweights live on the margin during cut week, and that’s why the scale check matters. Expect both Volkanovski and Lopes to hit championship form and bring intensity at the faceoff.

Why Weigh-Ins Matter for UFC 325
Numbers are only part of the story. Fighters who glide through to 145 lbs (or 146 in non-title bouts) usually rehydrate sharper and carry better pop late. Watch for:
- Clean first-attempt makes vs. towel saves — efficiency vs. depletion.
- Faceoff posture — chin level, foot position, who breaks gaze first.
- Camps’ confidence — cornermen chatter, post-scale interviews, and small tells.
