Diego Lopes goes up against Brian Ortega at UFC 306 live from Sphere in Las Vegas on Saturday, September 14. The pair squares off in a rescheduled three-round bout at featherweight.
Brazilian-born Lopes (25-6) and Ortega (16-3) of Los Angeles were initially set to battle it out at UFC 303 in June. The contest fell off after the latter withdrew due to illness, and Hawaii’s Dan Ige (18-8) stepped in on a few hours notice.
No. 12-ranked featherweight contender Diego Lopes and No. 14 Dan Ige went head-to-head at 165-pound catchweight. After three rounds, all three scores were 29-28 in favor of Mexico-based 29-year-old.
