Diego Lopes, a 29-year-old UFC featherweight fighter from Brazil who turned pro in 2012, was born on December 30, 1994, in Manaus, Amazonas. He also has the featherweight titles for the Mexico-based LUX Fight League, Xtreme Fighting League (XFL), and JFL, as well as the bantamweight title for Evolution Fight Night (EFN) in Brazil.
Due to his brother's and father's participation in the sport, Lopes began BJJ training at the age of five. In his native Amazonas, he participated in his first mixed martial arts fight at the age of 17. At UFC 288: Sterling vs. Cejudo on May 6, 2023, Lopes made his UFC debut against Movsar Evloev. However, he lost by a unanimous decision.
For one of his previous fights, which took place on August 5, 2023, at UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Font, he submitted Gavin Tucker in just 98 seconds. This was his first triumph in the octagon since he had lost to Movsar Evloev in his UFC debut, a fight he had consented to the week prior. Lopes won his next three fights and is now gearing up to fight Brian Ortega at UFC 303 on June 29, 2024.
