What is at stake at UFC 325?
Volkanovski is making his first defence of the featherweight championship which he won when he first fought Lopes last year.
No. 5 on the UFC's pound-for-pound rankings, esteemed veteran Volkanovski is fighting at home in Australia for the first time in three years.
This is his second reign with the featherweight belt. He has beaten José Aldo, Max Holloway three times, Jung Chan-sung and Yair Rodriguez.
But attempts to win gold in the division above, lightweight, failed when he twice bumped into Islam Makhachev.
When he returned to featherweight he lost the belt to Ilia Topuria. But Volkanovski has since claimed it back, after Topuria left the division.
Elsewhere at UFC 325, New Zealand's Dan Hooker will fight Benoit Saint-Denis in the red-hot lightweight division.
Hooker has traded verbal shots with Paddy Pimblett this month and they could collide later down the line.
