San Antonio – Diego Lopes has some advice for UFC opponent Jean Silva, whom he stopped with a rotating elbow in the main event of Saturday Feather WEIGHT.
“Maybe more training. Talk less, train more,” said Lopes (27-7) media, including Cageside Press, after the event in the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, TX.
What a match-up was between colleague Brazilians to surpass a map in honor of Mexican independence, something of a resort was, and Lopes tolerated both a blow after the bell, and disintegration from Silva’s corners prior to the fight.
The punch surprised many, including Lopes. “It is as if, I am surprised that he did it too. I feel the bump the back of my head. I turned around, as if he was an elbow in mind?”
“I don’t understand, why? But it’s okay. This is perhaps the emotion. Because this man is a bit hungry because he lost the fight,” Lopes added. “But it’s okay, I feel good now. This is my moment. People know that I am not going to pay the prize for my victory.”
After the victory, Lopes scaled the octagonal wall and the bird turned to someone, or someone’s, at Cageside. “This is [his] Training partners, “Lopes explained.” Before I entered the Octagon, the Cutman put the Vaseline in my face. His partners, his corners talked a lot, as “oh you die today, this guy will kill you, you suck, this guy will disable you.” Many bad words talk. “
“Sorry I showed my fingers for these guys,” the usually benign Lopes apologized.
With the victory, Lopes was reflected earlier this year from a title fight against Alexander Volkanovski. There is a question whether he will meet Yair Rodriguez or Movsar Evloev; Diego Lopes feels that it might not be – he could look at a different title shot.
“I don’t know. Now I think after my performance tonight, it puts my name back on the table. Maybe the UFC is now changing their plans. I don’t know. [said] This week I need a big knockout for the UFC to place my name in the hat for the title, “Lopes noted.” Now the top five is a bit mixed. A bit mixed. But the people know me, I love fighting. I love to fight. The UFC tells me: ‘Okay, you need another fight,’ Okay, send me another fight. It’s okay. “
