At #2 in the featherweight rankings, Diego Lopes is past the "prospect" stage. This is contender territory, and every fight from here is a title eliminator in disguise.

The ground is where fights end: 12 wins by submission (43% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't.

Most recent outing: a win over Steve Garcia via ko/tko (punches) r2. Business handled.
