Diego Lopes has responded to all those who criticize the level of his physical preparation for fights in the UFC octagon.
Diego Lopes will face the opportunity of a lifetime at the UFC 314 gala in Miami. On April 12, the Brazilian representative will face Alex Volkanovski in a fight for the vacant featherweight belt. Lopes will be able to reach the UFC championship title for the first time in his career.
Diego Lopes was an online guest on the Spanish-language channel Hablemos MMA. During the interview, the Brazilian-born fighter responded to criticism.
– I think Alex Volkanovski can enter the octagon and mix attacks and fight planes because many people still complain about my level of physical preparation. They say that I may not have the fitness for five rounds.
– People still remember what happened in the third round of the fight with Dan Ige, they say that then the pace of my actions slowed down significantly. Ok, people have mouths so they talk. I am ready for the best version of Volkanovski and I also intend to show my best version.
Diego Lopes admonished fans for remembering only what suits them. The pretender to the featherweight belt recalled his skirmish with Brian Ortega and how he performed in it.
– I’m not going to worry about that. Nobody talks about what I did to Brian Ortega in the third round, how I funded his knockdowns. I won all the rounds and dominated. What the hecklers don’t mention is that the judges scored the fight 30-26 in my favor.
– People forget things, they have a short memory. They remember only what they want to remember. On the other hand, the truth is that many people who comment are simply fans of other fighters. I happen to be fighting one of them, so his fans say that I lack cardio.
