Diego lopes starred in a real show in UFC 306, in Las Vegas, and left the martial arts world in shock. The fighter gave a 'beating' to Brian ortega last Saturday (14), in a duel valid for the featherweight division (up to 65,7 kg), and left him with his face completely disfigured.
The most shocking scene of the fight was Ortega's left eye, which was completely closed and purple, as Dana White, president of the UFC, recorded on his social media. The leader was impressed with the state of the American's face.

The Brazilian, who opened the fight with a devastating right to Ortega's face, dominated the first round and secured a 10-8 from one of the judges. Even with a slight recovery from the American in the second round, the Brazilian maintained the frenetic pace and, in the third, almost finished the fight with a knockout in the final seconds.
The unanimous decision victory solidified the position of Diego lopes as one of the main names in the featherweight category and placed him as a strong candidate for the division title. The Brazilian, who showed great confidence after the fight, asked for a chance to fight for the belt.
