All Diego’s fights have been 10x more exciting than evloevs + Diego has a bigger fan base.
He’s already worthy of a higher ranking/title shot before movsar
Wrong. The UFC believes there's more profit lately in the middle-east. Specifically UAE and Saudi money.
@wideopenthrottl I agree with you. Even if diego has a larger fanbase. Movsar is a Muslim fighter. The Middle East has his back with the abu Dhabi and the saudi cards. Money talks
@@wideopenthrottl does matter what they believe 😂 Diego is objectively the bigger name here in the west and almost all ppv come from the west so if Diego puts on an amazing performance he’s gonna leapfrog ahead of evloev
@@TheBlob_5roundsIsAnOPP I find that hard to believe. Dana will sell his soul for the middle eastern oil money. We shall wait and see
@@wideopenthrottlI heard that Dana might do ufc Qatar 🇶🇦
honestly If he beats Ortega,he can definitely skip Movsar.Dana likes Diego and the Mexican fan base,so if Diego wins no doubt Dana can make it happen.
He's not Mexican tho
@@ramonbriones4487he fights out of mexico and has a massive mexican fanbase, which has been growing rapidly within the ufc in general over the years
@@ramonbriones4487 el mexicano nace donde le da su chingada gana. habla mejor español que Brian. If we are talking about Mexican support,he definitely has more Mexican support than Brian. He trains Alexa,lives in Mexico,speaks spanish,holds Mexican citizenship as well,made his career before the UFC in Mexico.I say he is more Mexican than Brian.On top of that he also has fans from Brasil.
@@goop4834He’s not Mexican. Doesn’t matter where he fights, he’s Brazilian.
@@TylerBaker-ky7rp no shit, that's not the point. i was responding so somebody saying exactly that. the bigger picture is that it was said in response to the 'mexican fanbase' comment that he was responding to.
Champ in the making
I really like this cat man, good dude. Im very excited for this fight!
Ortega vs lopes could be a fight of the year contender in my opinion. 🎉😅
Usually the translation is off. This guy was doing great.
Get this man a title shot
get this man a HAIR CUT!!
@@Alex_Gordon He has one
@@Alex_Gordonhe got one on embedded
Ortega has only been beaten by the best. A tough task here.
That’s true. This will determine if Diego is actually ready for the title shot.
Yair looked like he was gonna be champ and brian subbed him dont count out ortega
Take the plus money on Ortega... Lopes is very good but Brian is elite...
Ortega is going to get smashed.
@@TylerBaker-ky7rp Brian has more heart than anyone fighting today...
@@CarsBikesBoats7Alex Pereira has more heart than
movsar is the most boring fighter even dana was clowning him
meanwhile he told Lopes: were gonna give you a shit ton of money after that performance
To be honest, Evloev is well rounded. He fights well, not easy to be undefeated in this game, I'm rooting for Diego Lopes
Dana’s job is to act like a casual
Best hair in the UFC & a assassin submission artist
He hates mosvar 😂
Man I like both Ortega and Diego…this gonna hurt either way
let's gooo Diego 🙌🇧🇷🇲🇽
🎉 novo talento novo campeão guerreiro brasileiro e mexicano
Honestly good questions today
I wonder if Diego or Ortega would try to compete in the CJI if they emerge injury free ? Could be some nice super fight money for current UFC fighters...
This dude will be champion sooner or later.
Who’s brain Ortega?
I'm asked you glad
@@paulbryant8403 shit had my dying when I read it at first 😂😂
Russian guy
I love both fighters.
Good luck 👍
What does good luck mean to both guys?
@@russlogan181safety and good health basically
Lopez is such a great dude and I love his fighting style.
T-City with a sub. There are levels to this game young man. I like Diego and he has a bright future.
Ortega gets smashed
Diego is the bjj coach at his gym. trains Alexa Grasso, ect.. he’s usually in his fighters’ corners. I wouldn’t say he’s levels below Brian. maybe it’s closer to even if anything
@@nutmegriot209 I think Diego makes it look easy.
@@TylerBaker-ky7rp mmaaaaybe ! its interesting bc its at 155. and i think Brian is moving to that div. it feels like a no-lose situation for both of them. so i wonder how thatvwill play out, & both being short notice. but if diego wins it can catapult him to the title shot. i think he has more to gain
He really has that indio hair cut 😅 he's going places
Diego!!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
I love him and ortega. May the best man win!
Dont lost me $$$
@MMARussy I'm glad you asked 😏
@@MMARussy Diego about to prove why he's a budding star. If he loses, I think it'll only be by decision
Diego should have answered, that Brians boxing is better, cause Max showed him and Diego had not the opportunity yet to learn from Max. 😂😂
ENGLISH-SPEAKING DIEGO LET'S GOOOO!!!! STAR TIME, BABY!
Movsar has never had a finish in the ufc If Diego gets sub or ko he 100% should skip the line n fight for title behind max Holloway
He looks like he could be a young Dan Akroyd's son...
Diego 😎
That boring Russian guys fights like once a year lol
Actually he's calling out also to fight in September
RIP Ortega
Ortega's a savage... this ones gonna be an absolute war. Gotta favor the younger guy but this one will be close
You look at this match and obviously diego is a younger and more well rounded version of ortega but at the same ortega is a guy who fought the who is who so people shouldn't sleep on him
kids a stud and his fighting speaks for himself. this is his first real test in my opinion. hopefully his lack of experience wont cost him. that being said I think he beats ortega.
look at the neck on this guy!
Thats great he is practicing his English , soon to be tri-lingual
He doesn’t speak English well BUT he speaks Portuguese and Spanish very well.
No kidding genius
Portunhol 😂
Champ
Ok but who is Brain Ortega?
I am glad you asked
🇧🇷🇧🇷💪
I too think brain Ortega is gonna lose
Mosvar smash this guy for rematch jew jitsu always problem whit great wrestoing skill
I don’t know who to root for cause they both got Mexican 🇲🇽🇲🇽 BANGER FIGHT EITHER WAY
Diego’s Brazilian
@@marcelotapia3970 yea but he lives and trains in mexico, represents the mexican flag and speaks spanish 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🔥
Ortega gonna guillotine this metallica dude
Lopes looks nervous and rightfully so...
DieGOAT
can someone explain why they don't use portuguese translation for him? His spanish is so bad
As a native spanish speaker, his spanish is actually pretty decent. His brazilian accent makes it hard to understand what he's saying sometimes though.
@@gael.7593 I strongly agreed
his spanish is great,I dont have an issue. Actually when he speaks portuguese he mixes the spanish as well,its more like portuñol/potunhol.He alternates between spanish and portuguese,previous card he was doing portuguese.He does most of the iterviews in spanish though because most of his fans are from Mexico.
@@gael.7593 yes his vocab and grammar are good, but his accent is weird. I've heard other brazilians speak spanish and they dont sound nearly as weird
You need a tampon?
I hope so. Evloev is overrated af and if lopez goes out and kos ortega i wouldnt mind him being in the top 5 and in talks of title contention
Ortega has quite the chin tho. I don't think he's getting koed
UFC is unfair with movsar
Movsar is so boring
Fugg evloev this guy is way better than
He lost to evolve he ain't better
That hairdo ja the same as a. German n×z×. Nurse from the. 40s
The Brazilian translator doing it in Spanish lol… he speaks Portuguese too bro
Yeah cause he trains in Mexico with a mexican team and prefers to speak Spanish?
@@nerigiron7704 🙄
Maybe speaking in spanish so more people can understand?
Nós entendemos bem o que os mexicanos dizem,se falar devagar dá pra entender bem.
Não sej se eles entendem bem o nosso português
@bernardolaravenancio5376 idk why it bothers u u do know that most translators that speak Portuguese can speak Spanish too?
Mover beat him so sorry no LMAO then go fight him again and prove yourself
A rematch between them in the sphere will be fire 🔥
Dude, cut that hair. It's gonna be in your eyes the whole fight.
He is delusional for thinking he can beat a guy like Movsar who is top at everything.
Movsar is a decision fighter, no KO power. Lopes is an elite BJJ fighter and has KO power.
@@935giovanythen why didn’t he stop movsar
@@RonaldosCathe fought on 5 days notice bud and almost beat movsar. DLO will get that back
He's a totally different fighter. Movsar knows that, that's why he's ducking him now.
@@nolimitjat actually both of them. Took it on short notice. It was bryce mitchell vs Jonathan Pearce. Pearce pulled out so movsar stepped in just for mitchell to pull out that's when diego came in . Saying that diego was in a disadvantage is a little bit hypocritical. Because both of them were in a disadvantage
I think Americans relate to him because he looks white and until he talks you would think he was a white American male. That’s what I think anyway cause that’s what I thought when I first seen him. Plus, he can fight. I seen him live at UFC fight night in Nashville. I had nearly ring side seats. Fun to watch live.
Lol terrible take.
Perfect troll comment lol, nice profile picture too 😂
