Diego Lopes will be one of the attractions of UFC 306, scheduled for the 14th, when he will go to the “Sphere” octagon in Las Vegas to face Brian Ortega, in perhaps the most important fight of his career. But, in addition to this fight, the Brazilian will have another incentive to be on the card.
The fighter is part of the Lobo Gym MMA, a Mexican team that will have one of its main members, Alexa Grasso, defending the flyweight belt against Valentina Shevchenko. In addition to supporting his teammate, Diego has a very unusual plan involving the Mexican that will depend on his performance at the event.
In an interview with MMAFighting, the fighter stated that he wants to stay by Alexa’s side even though she will have a fight against Ortega, which will take place a few matches before her teammate. In order to stay in her corner, he will do everything he can to get a quick win over “T-City” and will be available to the champion to help her in her fight.
– We have always discussed how we would approach the situation, because I have been Alexa’s corner since she moved up to flyweight. We work together and help each other, but we have no idea what to do, since I will have my fight and then hers. We know how a fight like this can end, especially because we know Ortega’s ability. It could be a war and we would be screwed. – Diego Lopes said.
– But I’m focused. This gives me extra motivation to go there, win quickly, go back to the locker room, change and be next to Alexa – added the Brazilian.
