Nobody hands you anything at light heavyweight. Bruno Lopes — "Brunao" to fight fans — has built a 14-3 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Brazil's regional scene.
A balanced operator — 6 wins by KO, 5 by submission, 3 on the scorecards. No single weapon to game-plan around, which is exactly the problem.
He's coming off a loss to Navajo Stirling. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
Next up: Diyar Nurgozhay at UFC Fight Night: Gamrot vs Salkilld on August 9, 2026. Circle the date.
