News Diego Lopes vs Jean Silva official to headline UFC Noche on September 13

[BoxerMaurits]

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


UPDATE:

Official

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Brazilian on Brazilian crime.

 

[MrBlackheart]

Does that mean Yair jumping over Movsar?

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Silva beats the shit out of Lopes

Does that mean Yair jumping over Movsar?

Yair does not deserve anything. He is 1-2 with his only win against a 40 years old BW and a loss to the ultra bum Brian Ortega

 

[Dr Fong]

Does that mean Yair jumping over Movsar?

Why would it mean that?

 

[KarateYeah]

Why would it mean that?

Because not everything has to mean something

Brazilian on Brazilian crime.

Jean doesn't like Diego because, according to him, Diego ignored him one time in a event lol

I like the fight tho, I thought they would do Lopez x Rodriguez at UFC Noche, but I think it's possible this fight too

Title shot for sure if Jean beat Diego imo

 

[Neck&Neck]

Sick fight

Does that mean Yair jumping over Movsar?

Movsar is fighting Volk. Yair lost to Volk last year or so. He aint getting a rematch now.

 

[tritestill]

Jean Silva will be FW champ early 2026

Jean wins via autism

 

[AmonTobin]

This is a dream matchup. I believe Lopes can win this. Make it happen, Dana White.

 

[TheMMAnalyst]

It's a dope fight, but wasn't Lopes vs. Evloev 2 or Lopes vs. Yair both right there waiting to be made? Both with back-stories and plenty of juice.



I guess that means they are doing Volk vs. Evloev or Yair 2 towards the end of the year (gut says Evloev, but you never know these days).

Seems like they are ready to speed-run Silva to a title-shot, going from Bryce to Lopes off a failed title-shot puts him in position to get his shot with a win.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Didn’t get announced tonight, as I was expecting, but let’s remain patient.

 

[Jackonfire]

Was hoping for Lopes vs Yair but this works.

 

[flektarn]

A fight that makes some sense. Quite a damn jump from ~13 Bryce? to #1 Lopes.

 

[burningspear]

make too much noise, get fast tracked to an arse whooping

 

[LincolnHawk1]

Should be a good fight. I got silva winning. I think he will be too fast and dynamic in striking. Lopes is tough as nails though and can take a beating the volk fight proved that.

Was hoping for Lopes vs Yair but this works.

I was also hoping for that matchup as it would be more of a new gen vs established gen kind of fight (and a banger ofcourse).
Lopes vs Jean is new gen vs new gen
