Rumored Diego Lopes vs. Josh Emmett to headline UFC Fight Night in Mexico City, Mar. 29th

[Gio]

Nothing official but looks like Ilia vs Volk 2 is next, and Lopes is not gonna pass up on a fight in Mexico. What a stud.

 

[Dreyga_King of Sherbums]

This is disappointing

 

[PrideNverDies]

Guess UFC is done with Lopes. RIP. Emmett by seizure like KO

 

[Travis Alexander]

Weird matchup… but fuck it hoping for Lopes to win via brutality!

Nah it's a stay busy fight for Lopes while Topuria/Volk 2 plays out.

 

[DrRodentia]

Lopes tends to get hit, and Emmett hits like a truck. He oughtta be a bit careful here. Should win, though.

 

[Elegant]

Very weird/bad match making

Emmett always has a decent chance to derail any prospect and Lopes' success is greatly owed to his chin which isn't something you should rely on vs Josh Emmett

 

[Yankee]

Fuck we gotta wait till the end of March

 

[Alfonso Rodriguez]

Booooo! Where the heck is Volk at?

 

[Shaolin Alan]

I'm guessing Lopes wanted a fight to stay active and this was the best Danuh & Co could come up with
Dangerous matchup, would be a decent name/win for Mexican Diego.
I'm not mad about the fight; just disappointed he isn't getting someone higher up.

 

[AmonTobin]

Ilia-Volk 2…I’m not sure how to feel about this. I don’t like Volk’s chances. This could go badly for him.

 

[gentel]

I actually think it's okay matchmaking - Lopes is overall clearly the superior fighter but he's been too cavalier about blocking punches with his face, so this tests his defensive abilities in the face of 1-hit KO power

Him vs Yair or Arnold Allen would obvs be more balanced in odds and rankings but guess they weren't available for whatever reasons. Lopes wants a paycheck, nothing too wrong with this

 

[fortheo]

Booooo! Where the heck is Volk at?

Just started training for his rematch with Topuria.

39 year old emmett loses... 36 year old volk loses... but Ilia won't want to fight Lopes.. he will want to fight Islam... not calling anyone a duck but this is less exciting as Ilia vs Lopes.

 

[Dr Fong]

It's incredible how people whine about Lopes not getting a title shot when there's an undefeated guy in the division who beat Lopes. And whose other top win (Allen) is a more notable win than beating the corpse of Brian Ortega.

Volk vs Topuria 2 continues the streak of terrible title fights.

 

[flektarn]

Really wanted lopes vs ilia or volk vs lopes smh

 

[pick999]

Smh volk lila makes no sense

There is? Huh? Maybe would've heard of the guy if he would actually fight. ONE fight since beating Lopes compared to lopes's 5. Bum should work harder if he actually wants a TS.

 

[Goatenstein]

This Lopes hype is absurd.

 

[JBJisGOAT14]

Lopes via murder.
