Diego Lopes of Amazon is the new No. 3 in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight rankings. On Saturday (14), the Manaus native defeated Brian Ortega by unanimous decision, on the UFC 306 card, and jumped 10 positions in the category rankings. Previously in 13th position, Diego moved up 10 positions and is now in the top 3, among the best in his division.

Now, Diego Lopes is only behind Max Holloway, Alexandre Volkanovski and featherweight champion Ilia Topuria. In this way, the Amazon native has positioned himself as one of the main candidates for the featherweight belt. UFC owner Dana White, after UFC 306, supported the idea of ​​the Brazilian being the immediate backup for the title fight between Topuria and Holloway, which will take place on October 26, at UFC 308.

Recalling

With a major win at UFC 306, Diego Lopes recorded his fifth victory in six Ultimate fights. In 2024 alone, the Brazilian has three wins under his belt. In addition to Brian Ortega last Saturday, the Manaus native defeated Dan Ige in June and Sodiq Yusuff in April.
