Welcome back for Bloody Elbow’s second installment of our two-part interview with four-time Arizona state wrestling champion, and UFC bantamweight, Matthew Lopez, who is slated to face Alejandro Perez at UFC on FOX 29 in Glendale, Arizona on April 14, 2018. In part one, Lopez spoke about the special bond between him and coach Trevor Wittman, and about how childhood friend Justin Gaethje is responsible for connecting those dots.
In the second installment, Lopez talks about suffering a loss at UFC Norfolk to Top-5 bantamweight Raphael Assuncao, and discusses what he could have done differently to get the win.
