Diego Lopes Open to Thrilling Bout Against Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 312
In an exciting turn of events for the featherweight division, Diego Lopes has expressed interest in a potential fight against Alexander Volkanovski, one of the division’s top names, during the upcoming UFC 312 scheduled in Sydney. Lopes,
who is relatively new to mainstream UFC fame, has quickly climbed the ranks with his impressive performances, making him a fresh and thrilling contender in the featherweight category. Following his impressive victory over Brian Ortega at UFC 306, Lopes has gained recognition not only for his skills but also for his professionalism and readiness to seize any opportunity. This has placed him as the backup fighter for the main event at UFC 308 between Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway, a role he’s embraced with remarkable poise.
As he prepares for the possibility of stepping in at UFC 308, Lopes has been training for both Topuria and Holloway, demonstrating his dedication and adaptability. Lopes hopes his services won’t be required on fight night, wishing both Topuria and Holloway a safe and successful match. However, he’s also eager and more than ready to jump in if needed, even with minimal notice. “I’m training for both guys,” he told reporters in Abu Dhabi. “I’m ready for everything, bro.” This resilience and positive attitude have endeared Lopes to fans and reinforced his position as a rising star in the division.
