The UFC is back in the land “Down Under” for UFC 325, its second numbered event of the calendar year – and no longer on pay-per-view at the start of the Paramount+ broadcast era.
The popular “Embedded” fight week video series is here to document what’s happening behind the scenes. UFC 325 (Paramount+) takes place Saturday at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.

The headliner is a featherweight title fight between champion Alexander Volkanovski (27-4 MMA, 14-3 UFC) and Diego Lopes (27-7 MMA, 6-2 UFC), a rematch from 2025 when Volkanovski reclaimed the vacant title with a unanimous decision.
In the co-feature, Dan Hooker (24-13 MMA, 14-9 UFC) meets newly surging French lightweight Benoit Saint Denis (16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) with both looking to climb back into the title picture.
The second episode of “Embedded” follows the featured fighters while they get ready for fight week. Here is the UFC’s description of the episode from YouTube:
“Dan Hooker spends time with his daughter before heading off to Sydney; Oban Elliott reflects on the influence his father has had on his fighting career; Jacob Malkoun gets in a grappling session; Quillan Salkilld arrives for UFC 325 fight week; Torrez Finney hits pads; Champ Alexander Volkanovski and his team arrive in Sydney; Diego Lopes and his whole team train together.”
