On April 12, MMA fans showed up early for the UFC Fan Experience in downtown Miami just hours before UFC 314 brought the Octagon back to the city.
The crowd made the most of the action-packed event, from snapping pics with a replica championship belt, meeting fighters and testing their own skills.
Many fans said they’d been counting down the days for UFC’s return to the 305 and were more than ready for fight night.
“Clearly, there’s a demand [for UFC in Miami],” said fan Spiros Karides.
The energy only built as the day went on, with Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes headlining the new UFC feather-weight champion fight.
