6 days agoWelcome to the UFC: Luke Riley
Undefeated 26-year-old Luke Riley debuts at UFC Qatar; 5'9" featherweight, 11-0 pro with aggressive, high-volume striking and noted UK prospect credentials.
Lopes is in been there, done that territory here. His own impressive rise up the 145lb division took him to a title fight with Alexander Volkanovski earlier this year. Now, he looks to bounce back from a loss there, an adopted Mexican of sorts originally from Brazil, headlining a card celebrating Mexican independence and the nation's fighting spirit. While Diego Lopes might relate to Jean Silva on one front, he doesn't fully understand his latest opponent.
