Diego Lopes welcomes BMF-style war with Charles Oliveira at UFC 335: ‘Let’s see who goes down first’

Key Points:

• Diego Lopes will challenge Charles Oliveira for the BMF belt on December 12 in Las Vegas, headlining UFC's final numbered event of the year, promising an exciting fight true to the BMF legacy.
• Oliveira, criticized for a grappling-heavy approach in his last fight, faces Lopes who hopes Oliveira will come in aggressively, setting the stage for a high-intensity battle.
• Lopes, known for his engaging fighting style and seven UFC bonuses, sees Oliveira as his toughest opponent due to Oliveira's knockout and submission threats both standing and on the ground.
• A win over Oliveira could position Lopes for a title shot or at least a high-profile BMF title defense, potentially against Justin Gaethje, whose future as lightweight champion is uncertain.
• Lopes has bulked up to compete at lightweight but remains open to returning to featherweight in the future, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a winning streak regardless of division.
