UFC 314 looks about as good on paper as any card we’ve seen since UFC 308, or maybe even UFC 300. It’s that strong on paper. The official fight order was released per ESPN.

Silva vs. Mitchell Could Steal the Show
The main event is obviously a huge and intriguing fight. However, if I had to point to one of the other fights that has me excited, it’s Jean Silva vs. Bryce Mitchell.
Everyone knows Mitchell isn’t a serious title contender, but for worst, he has made himself a bigger name in the UFC. Silva is a rising star whose shine will get even brighter if he knocks Mitchell out.
UFC fans will be watching this main card fight closely.
Tulio Could Surprise While Pitbull Debuts
Everyone is focused on Pitbull’s UFC debut—and with good reason—but Dana White Contender Series standout Tulio could make another moment for himself in Miami when he clashes with Tresean Gore on the prelims.
Tulio is a powerful middleweight who needed two appearances on DWCS to get the call. He scored an explosive first-round KO win over Ihor Potieria in his main roster debut.
If Tulio can knock off Gore, we may have a rising star at middleweight.
Chandler vs. Pimblett Is More Than a Showpiece
Michael Chandler is on the hot seat. If he loses to Paddy Pimblett, expect to see his stock plummet even more than it already has since he arrived in the UFC.
Chandler has called out Conor McGregor, despite most people believing the former champion is done in the Octagon. However, if he can’t beat Pimblett, the days of considering Chandler as a potential title contender are officially over.
