UFC featherweight title contender Diego Lopes has responded to those criticizing him receiving another shot at the gold.
Earlier this year, Diego Lopes battled Alexander Volkanovski in an attempt to become the new UFC featherweight champion. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite come to fruition for him, and he instead suffered a decision defeat at the hands of ‘The Great’. However, after defeating Jean Silva, he has been able to once again earn a crack at Volkanovski at UFC 325 next year.
As a result of Lerone Murphy and Movsar Evloev also being on the verge of a championship opportunity, many fans and pundits are pretty frustrated to see Diego Lopes get another shot so soon after his first.
