The No.3 ranked featherweight contender in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Diego Lopes is an exceptional fighter with a diverse skill set. Even though he has the core of his fights on the ground, that does not stop him from knocking out his opponents while standing. The orthodox fighter made his professional mixed martial arts debut in 2012, and with more than a decade of expertise in the sport, he currently maintains a record of 26 wins and 6 losses in his career so far. The majority of his finishes are via submission(12), and knockout(10), and also holds 15 first-round finishes to his name, ornamenting his fight resume.

Diego Lopes made his promotional debut on short notice of five days against the undefeated Russian fighter Movsar Evloev at UFC 288 on May 6, 2023. The fight took place in New Jersey, United States, and Lopes was able to get through three rounds with Evloev. However, a dominant Evloev had a unanimous decision win over the Brazilian and both contenders won the ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus for their peak-level performance. However, Diego Lopes immediately bounced back from the loss in his next match against Gavin Tucker via a first-round armbar submission and is currently on a five-fight win streak.
