How would Lopes fare against Murphy or Evloev?

[scytheavatar]

I am of the opinion that Lopes is a meathead and even if he somehow got lucky and beat Volk he was never going to be a champ that lasts long. His nature means that he won't be destroyed by Murphy or Evloev but I do not see how he can avoid losing to them in the scoreboard. I think a fight between him and Sterling would be interesting but Sterling probably won't want to wait and Sterling vs Silva sounds like smart matchmaking.

Lopes already lost to Evloev but still looked pretty impressive while doing so - Volk was the first one to make him look bad tonight

Its very possible that once his chin is cracked he’ll go on a Tony skid. No progress in his game since the Evloev fight. Crazy chin atm tho’.

I could see Murphy having another Pico style highlight against Lopes.

Lopes is shit and regressing. Also, Silva was going to finish him before getting overzealous.

Evloev is the uncrowned king at 45. Everyone can hate it, but the Russians are just way better at this shit and probably for years to come.

I don't see Lopes getting back to another title shot. If not for Jean Silva fighting like a complete moron he never would have got this undeserved rematch.

I'd pick him to beat Murphy, possibly by KO.
Movsar wrestlefucks him to a close decision again.

To be fair, Murphy was getting overwhelmed and mauled by Pico until the luck hellbow. Not sure he can get lucky with something like that against Lopes. Would have rather seent Volk stylize Murphys law last night than the shit show we got, but dana bless.

Evloev will get smoked by Volk lol. Russians are highly overrated in that respect. You're not looking at the guys that lose and don't perform well.

Evo already beat him. Only in the UFC could you have an undefeated contender and a guy that he beats gets 2 cracks at the title before Movsar does. They should change the name to UEC. Ultimate Entertainment Championship. Dana and friends are working very hard to make the road to the title harder for fighters they don't like.

Lopes vs Lerone would be a banger. Evloev would most likely out wrestle Lopes & grind out a win. Lopes would only have a punchers chance vs Evloev imo.

Yeah, Lopes is very hittable, though not quite as much last night. Jean Silva was landing almost everything on him and knocking his head back with many shots.

yeah but dont forget Lopes was a replacement in this fight with a 10 to 15 days notice if my memory aint failing me.
