LAS VEGAS – Diego Lopes has a perfect night in mind at UFC 306, and it involves two trips to the octagon.
Lopes (24-6 MMA, 4-1 UFC) meets Brian Ortega (16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) in the featherweight featured bout on Saturday’s Noche UFC at Sphere (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+). Minutes after Lopes’ fight concludes, teammate Alexa Grasso will put her women’s flyweight title on the line in a historic trilogy bout with Valentina Shevchenko in the co-main event.
If Lopes can execute everything as he hopes, he’ll beat Ortega then return to the cage to be part of Grasso’s corner team.
