However, this report is inaccurate. The handle jokingly posted a fake report, and it is not the first time it has linked Sydney Sweeney with a famous UFC fighter, previously linking her with former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira to amuse fans.
At UFC 303, Diego Lopes faced Dan Ige on just four hours’ notice, showcasing why he belongs at the top of the division. Despite the short notice, the fight was a historic bout that had fans on their feet, applauding both fighters.
UFC 303 was a challenging event for Diego Lopes. Initially, he was set to fight the number three ranked featherweight, Brian Ortega.
However, hours before the weigh-ins, Ortega was unable to make weight and withdrew from the fight due to sickness.
The UFC offered Lopes the option to not fight and still receive his purse, but Lopes chose to fight anyone on short notice. Dan Ige stepped in, and their fight became one for the history books.
Lopes tweeted about the chaotic build-up to his co-main event at UFC 303, summarizing the madness: “I accepted the fight with two weeks’ notice to fight the number three ranked featherweight, changed weight categories multiple times, and had my opponent changed three hours before the event.
“UFC gave me the option not to accept, but I chose to fight anyone, anytime, anywhere, at any weight.”
