I saw that on embedded. Looks like a super deep bruise. If you look at it up close tho it’s weirdly purple; almost looks like paint. Idk what to make of it

Damn. I really like Diego Lopes, too. Glad he's in the UFC but Evloev is going to use him as a mop. Woof.

Diego Lopes is a really good FW with a near 100% finish rate who UFC fans were introduced to on Contender series when he lost a decision to Joanderson Brito. 

This call-up is very similar to how Melq Costa, a very good fighter, was brought in to fight Thiago Moises recently. He's absolutely a game opponent and probably going to make a decent showing of himself, but there's levels to MMA. Lopes is in for a rough night.

Evloev is going to be in the neighborhood of -1000 now

On the plus side, maybe Evloev will actually get a finish now

Bummer. Time to put frevola vs Dober on the ppv. Ranked featherweights almost never end up fighting each other

That's honestly so true. Ranked featherweight fighters seem to ignore each other like the plague. Topuria, Ige, Barbosa and Cacares might be the only guys that seem down to fight anybody anytime.
