Former UFC lightweight star turned analyst, Din Thomas has claimed incoming vacant featherweight title chaser, Diego Lopes’ sheer power on the feet could lead to his downfall in his headliner against ex-champion, Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 314.
Lopes, who features for the first time in a title fight since his debut in the promotion just two years ago, has ridden an impressive winning spree of five consecutive outings since his short-notice loss against Movsar Evloev in his first venture to the Octagon.
And last time out, the Brazilian dropped common-foe, Brian Ortega in the opening exchanges, before riding out a stunning unanimous decision victory over the course of three rounds at Noche UFC last September at The Las Vegas Sphere.
