UFC 314 gate revealed
The Volkanovski–Lopes card generated more than $11 million in ticket sales at Miami’s Kaseya Center, marking it as a major commercial draw in the city. The report contrasts that with UFC 299’s announced Kaseya Center gate of roughly $14 million to show the relative scale of the two recent Miami cards. (essentiallysports.com)
UFC 314 brought in a live gate of $11,507,099 at Miami’s Kaseya Center on April 12, 2025. (sports.yahoo.com) The card drew an announced crowd of 18,287, with Alexander Volkanovski beating Diego Lopes by unanimous decision to reclaim the Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight title in the main event. (sports.yahoo.com) (ufc.com) That total put UFC 314 below the company’s previous Miami pay-per-view stop, UFC 299, which drew a $14,142,904 live gate and 19,165 fans at the same arena on March 9, 2024. (mmajunkie.usatoday.com) Miami has become a regular Ultimate Fighting Championship market in recent years. UFC 299 in March 2024 and UFC 314 in April 2025 were both held at Kaseya Center, and the promotion returned there again for UFC 327 in April 2026. (ufc.com 1) (ufc.com 2) (ufc.com 3) The comparison matters because the two Miami cards were built around different championship stakes. UFC 299 was headlined by Sean O’Malley defending the bantamweight title against Marlon Vera, while UFC 314 was topped by Volkanovski and Lopes fighting for a vacant featherweight belt. (ufc.com 1) (ufc.com 2) UFC 314 still landed among the stronger arena gates on the company’s 2025 schedule, and outside reports described it as one of the top-grossing events in Kaseya Center history. (sportscasting.com) The night also delivered a deep results card beyond the main event. Paddy Pimblett stopped Michael Chandler in the co-main event, and Yair Rodriguez beat Patricio Pitbull on the same pay-per-view main card. (ufc.com) For Miami, the number was not a miss so much as a reset from an unusually high bar. At Kaseya Center, UFC 314 cleared $11.5 million in ticket sales, but UFC 299 remains the bigger benchmark at just over $14.1 million. (sports.yahoo.com) (mmajunkie.usatoday.com)
