WWE’s Julius Creed slams Dan Hellie through a table at UFC 314 weigh-in with Daniel Cormier

Friday’s weigh-in show for UFC 314 had its share of the usual face-offs and final stares, but it was a ringside ambush that stole the spotlight. Former two-division champ and commentator Daniel Cormier was joined by none other than WWE Superstar Julius Creed, who helped him put Dan Hellie straight through a table — to the delight (and surprise) of everyone watching.

This wasn’t just some random, thrown-together moment — there’s real history here. Julius Creed and Daniel Cormier go way back, all the way to 2017 when Creed, still early in his own wrestling journey, jumped in to help Cormier get ready for his fight against Jon Jones. That training bond turned into a legit friendship, and it’s stuck ever since. Fast forward to earlier this year, and Creed’s not just a guest anymore — he’s officially part of Cormier’s coaching squad for The Ultimate Fighter 33. So yeah, seeing them team up to put Dan Hellie through a table? That’s just two boys having fun on fight week.

Creed’s appearance was a nod to that bond and also served as a fun, over-the-top moment to build excitement for UFC 314, which Cormier himself called “the type of card we long for in 2025.” With all eyes on South Beach this weekend, it was a perfect way to lean into the party atmosphere Miami is known for.

Down in the heart of Miami at the lively Kaseya Center, UFC 314 is bringing the heat with one of the most stacked cards we’ve seen in a while. In the main event, Alexander Volkanovski is stepping into a familiar role — attempting to reclaim his featherweight throne after Ilia Topuria vacated the title to chase lightweight gold. It’s got shades of when Conor McGregor ditched featherweight gold in 2016 to chase bigger fights — a star moves up, the belt gets left behind, and the division scrambles to find its next king.
Volk won’t have it easy, though. Standing in his way is none other than Diego Lopes, a fast-rising fan favorite who’s capitalized on every opportunity. Meanwhile, the co-main event features England’s Paddy Pimblett taking on battle-tested veteran Michael Chandler. It’s a “past vs. future” clash that echoes through both top fights.
Add to that Patricio Pitbull’s long-awaited UFC debut against Yair Rodriguez and Jean Silva’s showdown with Bryce Mitchell, and you’ve got a card loaded with storyline, skill, and stakes.

From tables breaking on live TV to legends trying to reclaim glory, UFC 314 is delivering everything fight fans crave. Julius Creed’s unexpected cameo brought the kind of fun chaos only combat sports can provide, and with a main card this stacked, Saturday night in Miami promises to be unforgettable. Whether you're here for the drama, the knockouts, or just a wild ride — UFC 314 is where it’s at.
