Diego Lopes had a rollercoaster of a night at UFC 306, achieving victory in his featherweight bout against Brian Ortega but also enduring disappointment as his teammate Alexa Grasso faced defeat in her flyweight championship matchup with Valentina Shevchenko.
Following Grasso’s loss, Lopes observed that she seemed to have difficulties and was not fully engaged in the fight. Despite the tough outcome, Lopes remains supportive of Grasso and plans to have a post-event discussion about her performance in the near future.
The night was made even more somber for Lopes as several Mexican fighters, including Grasso, also came up short in their fights. While Lopes celebrated his own win, he expressed regret over his compatriots’ lack of success in the cage.
Despite the challenges faced, Lopes stands by his team and is determined to offer his unwavering support to all his teammates, including Grasso. He eagerly anticipates the opportunity to review and analyze Grasso’s fight once the post-event chaos settles down.
