They aren't giving jean the paddy treatment

Well, while Lopes is an absolute killer, he’s also way higher up in the rankings, so this is a massive opportunity for Jean!

 

[CobraCobretti]

I love this fight, really do, but hate the fact that this prolly means Yair is getting the next shot.

 

[Marko Polo]

That’s what I was told, from a reliable source who’s never wrong when he informs me about big fights.


UPDATE:

You know how we roll brother

 

[Cameron]

I think Silva makes it look easy. Looking at a future champ here.

 

[Dorkman]

That is a potentially very violent match. 2 guys who can really crack, and are willing to

 

[Aurelian]

Jean is 100% getting the next shot with a win, even if Movsar beats Pico. Bet it.

[VAfan]

have become a fan of lopes over time, very entertaining dude to watch. not exactly just bleed but always brings it. his fight against volk was a barnburner.

 

[NoSmilez]

Damn this is a good fight. I didn't expect this one. Both of these guys are killers and they take hard fights.

 

[IneedSometop]

This is dope fight but strange matchmaking when Yair vs Lopes is sitting right there. 99% chance Yair tucked tail when called about fighting Lopes.

 

[milliniar]

Nothing says Mexico like two Brazilians fighting in Texas.

 

[BowserJr]

Fun fight but Diego v Yair would be better, especially cuz the bad blood actually seems legit.

Silva should fight the winner

Evloev should just fight for the belt next.

That one makes a lot more sense. fucking yair.

They could/should have booked FW like this

Volk Vs Evolev-No brainer
Lopes Vs Yair-No brainer-
Any combination of Silva, Allen, Pico, Murphy works to sort the division

 

[AmonTobin]

Since Lopes and Evloev fought, Lopes will have fought 7 more times and Evloev just 3 times. No judgement but that’s pretty wild.

The Silva fight will be a completely different beast but fighting another elite technician like Volk surely helped Lopes learn new things and keep sharpened. Couldn’t ask for better cage experience.

Silva’s looked monstrous but Lopes is a big step up in comp. Evloev will blow past Pico I reckon.

 

[KO Shotz]

This is dope fight but strange matchmaking when Yair vs Lopes is sitting right there. 99% chance Yair tucked tail when called about fighting Lopes.

I'm 100% positive that that's what happened.
