Jean Silva for MMA Junkie
So basically Diego was doing matchmaking, and basically signed on his coffin already. It’s no secret to anyone that I don’t like the person that he is, just like Bryce Mitchell. I wanted this fight, I got it, I’m promoting it and, as it turns out, two people who don't go well with each other are able to fight. So I get to beat him up.
Diego Lopes last entered the octagon in April 2025 at UFC 314, losing to Alexander Volkanovski by unanimous decision. His record stands at 26 wins and 7 losses.
