Diego Lopes Hopes Backup Services Aren’t Needed for UFC 308 Main Event
As the backup fighter for the UFC 308 main event, Diego Lopes really wants the original fight to stay intact.
Max Holloway (26-6) challenges Ilia Topuria (15-0) for the featherweight title in the main event at UFC 308 this Saturday at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Because he is the backup fighter, Lopes could have a shot at the title if he has to step in for someone — but the Brazilian is so excited for the fight that he hopes he doesn’t have to replace anyone. However, if needed, Lopes is in perfect shape and willing to serve his duties as the replacement.
