Diego Lopes Biography
Lopes

Lopes became a breakout UFC contender almost overnight. It started with his UFC debut, a spirited short-notice loss to highly-touted contender Movsar Evloev. From there, he stopped nearly every man standing between him and two title fights with Alexander Volkanovski. Lopes attacks at nearly every moment. Dynamite knockout power complements his killer submission game. Lopes fights like someone trying to steal the show every time out.

"Dream, believe and make it happen."
