Less Than Two Years Into His UFC Career, Diego Lopes Has Quickly Become A Fan Favorite And Looks To Continue His Climb To The Title At UFC 306

Since Diego Lopes made his debut at UFC 288 in Newark last May, he has been a star.
The featherweight stepped in on days’ notice to face Movsar Evloev, who is now ranked No. 6 in the 145-pound division. The two went all three rounds, with Evloev leaving with his hand raised, but the fight put the spotlight on Lopes, who almost finished Evloev a handful of times.
