UFC 303 Brian Ortega vs Diego Lopes Odds, Picks, & Predictions: Bank on the Brazilian in Saturday's Co-Main Bout
Keep in mind that Lopes has already faced a highly-ranked featherweight, and he did it in his UFC debut on short notice. While he was unable to upset Movsar Evloev as a +675 underdog, he fought an extremely competitive bout and earned Fight of the Night honors for his efforts. Since then. the 29-year-old Brazilian has reeled off three straight first-round finishes, most recently knocking out Sodiq Yusuff at UFC 300.
In addition, Ortega has said that he plans to move up to lightweight. Taking a short-notice fight when you have one foot out the door of a division suggests that the weight cut is getting to be too much for the 33-year-old Ortega.While I expect Lopes to win, I'd be surprised if his streak of early stoppages continues. While his knockout of Yusuf was impressive, his other finishes came against 37-year-old Gavin Tucker, and Pat Sabatini — who is chinny and has terrible striking defense.
