Diego Lopes Admits Ego Hurt Him Before First Alexander Volkanovski Fight

Lopes said confidence backfired ahead of his first fight against featherweight champion Volkanovski last year. “When you’re winning, you feel no need to change anything,” he admitted. Lopes lost that fight, forcing adjustments. However, he secured a win in the same year, earning a rematch. Now they rematch at UFC 325, with Lopes saying “a lot changed” after the defeat.
