Carlos Diego Ferreira believes he is two wins away from title mix, eyes three fights in 2021

UFC lightweight contender Carlos Diego Ferreira has some big plans for 2021, starting with a rematch against the man who handed him his first professional loss. Paired up against Beneil Dariush at UFC Vegas 18, the Brazilian expects to put on an impressive performance and get a little closer to the division’s top 5.

In an interview with Combate, Ferreira revealed to be inspired by Charles Oliveira’s current moment and hopes to get into the title mix with two more wins. In fact, Diego hopes to fight three times in 2021, to end the year with the lightweight belt within his grasp.
