The thumbnail is pure excellence

[@theironforce3000]

Diego is the next fast rising star in UFC! Very impressive wins up to this point. And equally impressive that he can do an interview in three languages. ( Saw this at the pressers leading to 300)

[@cherkayskadiga5597]

Well this only shows how good is Movsar

[@Fitkid7672]

@@cherkayskadiga5597 yes although, diego took the fight only on 5 days notice & it was his debut. He look like he's more confident & he's putting guys away fast. Movsar is a bad matchup though. He is well rounded & disciplined. He's not reckless so it would be tough to beat him.

[@AdamKing-xv1iu]

Diego has that early 00s Jens pulver haircut.... Legend💪

[@IronReef77]

I wish he didnt have to explain himself about Mark Zuckerberg. Not everyone cares to kiss his ass. Forget that guy

[@ChrisJohnson-db2ts]

Diego vs aljo what yall think

[@Bigtaz777]

Lets go Diego! I love this man!

[@cherkayskadiga5597]

Also Movsar had him as Short notice ....but Movsar shows every one he is a top levvel

[@aleksandarbanjanin6437]

They both accepted the fight at short notice, but who had a bigger camp?

[@cherkayskadiga5597]

@aleksandarbanjanin6437 when you prepare for specific fighter and you get another fighter with a different background, your whole camp means nothing

[@gingerale2038]

​​​@@cherkayskadiga5597 Diego comes from BJJ background just like Bryce Mitchel (who was the original fighter) so it is not like the styles were THAT different. Both Bryce and Diego are grapplers and have a lots of wins by submission Only difference is the striking and the fact that Diego has much heavier hands than Bryce. Still Movsar struggle on the grappling with Diego.

[@AbdulazizKider]

​@gingerale2038 movsar also accepted the fight with Bryce Mitchell on short notice. Bryce Mitchell was supposed to fight Jonathan pearce, but he pulled out when like 3 weeks were left, then Movsar accepted the fight.

[@gingerale2038]

@@AbdulazizKider fair, but Diego accepted the fight with 5 days notice and it was his debut fight. Between Movsar and Diego, Movsar had it even "easier" as he was fighting Diego a debutant and non ranked fighter a the time.

[@gstarmma]

this man deserved a bonus.

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

He is the Killer🙏🏿🇧🇷

[@Javv11..]

Guerreo🇲🇽🇧🇷

[@vjoojv]

Best prospect in the game! Champ status in the near future!!

[@alcottdevalte7440]

This kid has brought the mullet back, which is appreciated. Very lame by Dana promising 300k bonuses and only giving two people instead of most fighters on the card.

[@thomasotoole2365]

He said there was only 1.2 mil in bonuses he gave fight of night to max and Justin. Then performance for max and jiri

[@alrodriguez8054]

Diego 👑

[@jaishonchampion1454]

Thumbnail w the title is crazy

[@nosdenp-m2511]

I like this guy. been watching him since his first debut. instantly became a fan of the dude because of his skills and the way he fights.

[@bnaps2371]

That thumbnail has Diego looking like Lloyd Christmas. Its cool that he reps Mexico. The dude has two nations behind him.

[@opinionated_take]

Smoked Yusuff's boots 😮

[@gstarmma]

Peso Pluma cut goes crazy😎 it’s perfect bc “peso pluma” literally means featherweight in Spanish😂

[@cyborg-zl2mc]

Diego has had that hair style as a kid,way before that joker

[@vinreddy4003]

Diego the future champ 🔥

[@racecrasher99]

This guy is clearly very talented, has a lot of power and always finishes his fights. But apart from that… why is there such a huge hype and massive following behind him already, did I miss something in particular? I’ve not heard of OR seen Diego before the UFC.

[@edster6334]

It was due to the movsar fight.

[@RationalLlama]

It's because of his UFC debut where he gave Movsar a tough fight on short notice.

[@kushpubg]

Did you not watch him fight on saturday? How much more do you need?

[@giacalonebuilding4443]

That free Mexico card few months ago he had a viral KO that tons of people saw. Very similar to the Benoit Saint Denis hype train

[@justagoose7741]

He almost submits (twice) a boring russian wrestler on 6 days notice who's ranked in the top5, on his UFC debut. Since then, he's had 3 first-round finishes, two KO's and 1 sub, and je hust KO'd #13 ranked Yusuff who's no joke, on his 4th fight in the UFC. He's like a FW Charles Oliveira with a goofy haircut, representing two extremely patriotic and passionate countries (Brazil and Mexico) He has all the makings of a super star and that's without even speaking English.

[@jasonwalter5873]

Amazing... The first time I saw him was that super short notice fight he had and he came out with that haircut looking dumb af and I was definitely a little bit of a hater... but he's definitely putting in 100% effort and it shows. I always respect the guys that learn English a little more... it's just a smart business move. I also don't look down on the ones who don't, it's hard to learn a new language as an adult

[@BrunoPOWEEER]

Diego is coming… watch this guy

[@mehdineghabat7823]

cool guy diego!!!

[@lollercoaster4]

Love this dude, been on board since the Evolev fight. Absolute killer, nice guy and future champ 👊

[@taylor5574]

all aboard the Diego Lopes hype train 👊

[@tuffneggah]

let him fight arnold in england and then edson in the sphere

[@whydopeoplealwayssayuhm]

Battle, diego lopes, talbott. Some of my favorite upcoming ufc fighters to watch. But Diego is easily my favorite considering how he stepped into his ufc debut on a short notice and gave evloev a very tough and close fight.

[@Erickjimenez15]

this guy is tough. i love his style

[@nestorbatista893]

No que le falta a sterling a diego lopes le sobra viva brasil México

[@scottc2076]

Tony -> Charles -> Diego Lopes

[@crazypato3752]

AND all of them have particular hairstyles

[@Gotyou15]

Wow bro did it in spanish. Give him a mexican queen.

[@user-do3tl7ly4e]

This guy adventure just started. I remember he won that short notice fight easy. And since then he be flying.

[@MrCeezh]

This translator is very poor.

[@alcoviteiro]

I think he could speak english....

[@edgarramos3981]

Translator laughing and everything just ruins the vibe like why put yourself in a interview that has nothing to do with you like translate what he’s saying and that’s it we don’t need the extra words and laughs need more professional translator next time

[@seriustraco]

Lopes got robbed vs evloev, watch him knock him out with a full training camp

[@MainCardMinute]

I think I speak for most when I say idc about Evloev vs anyone, but damn Diego in the rematch with a full camp could be a lot of fun

[@user-kw8zm1qg4s]

sodiq the fumber

[@Ghostkid6598]

The guy is overhype give him josh emmeth

[@lilbonz805]

He will beat emmet if they fight

[@Fitkid7672]

@@lilbonz805 I wanna see him fight aljo.

[@Mkayyyyyyy]

Diego should decline to fight Mosvar. Mosvar small name. Diego needs a bigger name. Plus everyone knows Diego dominates Mosvar with a full training camp.

[@Javv11..]

Ppl definitely know mosvar, I think what you’re trying to say is he should take less risk fighting a experienced but old fighter with a bigger name.

[@Mkayyyyyyy]

@@Javv11.. Mosvar isn’t even close to mainstream lol. And he never will, he just another boring Russian fighter. He only known in Russia lil bro. How many cards has he headlined? Exactly. Diego could headline his first fight night right now. Mosvar couldn’t unless the other guy carried.

[@seriustraco]

Lopes would literally put that roided hugging bum movsar with a full training camp

[@Gualtier_Malde]

​​@@Mkayyyyyyy Evloev tripled the significant strikings in Diego's face Lol, His daddy is The Russian
