Morning Report | Dana White teases more about UFC’s next ‘impossible event’: ‘Hopefully I can get this thing done next week’
Credit: Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLCUFC fan favorite Diego Lopes will make the full-time move to the lightweight division after his latest win at UFC Freedom 250.
Former UFC featherweight title challenger Diego Lopes is in a bizarre spot in the 145-pound title picture after suffering two losses to current titleholder Alexander Volkanovski. Despite making a strong case for a title shot with an impressive come-from-behind knockout against Steve Garcia at the White House, Lopes would likely have to win a few fights before making the case for another shot at the belt.
Lopes, who lost back-to-back title fights to Volkanovski, has also earned recent featherweight wins over Jean Silva and Brian Ortega. But Lopes is big for the featherweight division and has teased a potential move to lightweight for months.
Amidst his peculiar spot in the featherweight division, Lopes is taking matters into his own hands and making the move to lightweight.
Diego Lopes announces full-time move to lightweight, hoping for MSG return
In a recent interview with Ag.Fight, Lopes shared an update on his return to the Octagon.
“We're taking the leap in our career now; we're going up a division, in advanced talks,†Lopes said.
“We're hoping to fight at MSG in November.â€
One potential lightweight opponent is BMF titleholder Charles Oliveira, who was rumored to fight Arman Tsarukyan at UFC 331 before pulling out of recent fight talks. Oliveira's teammate Allan Nascimento's tragic death leaves a timeline for the BMF champion's return to the Octagon unclear.
Lopes hasn't fought at lightweight in his UFC tenure, although he fought in a 165-pound catchweight bout against Dan Ige at UFC 303. He's fought as low as bantamweight during his combat sports career.
As the lightweight division continues to blossom with intriguing matchups for the rest of the year, Lopes' addition opens the door to plenty of possible bookings. We could be weeks away from getting news on Lopes' return to the cage.
Who should Diego Lopes fight next? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
