Diego Lopes doesn’t mind moving up a weight class to fight Charles Oliveira.
Oliveira was scheduled to headline UFC Fight Night 261 against Rafael Fiziev on Oct. 11 in front of his home fans at the Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. However, the former lightweight champ is now left without an opponent as Fiziev was forced out due to an injury.
Oliveira recently accused the entire division of ducking him him despite none of the Top 15 lightweights being booked right now. However, featherweight contender Lopes is willing to move up a weight class to fight “do Bronxs” on short notice.
