Diego Lopes Responds to “Whining” Fighters After UFC Bout Announcement
After the UFC confirmed Diego Lopes’ next fight, the featherweight contender faced strong backlash from other fighters and parts of the MMA community. Many of his peers argued that Lopes was being favored with more exposure and opportunities than others who had been waiting longer for similar chances.
In response, Lopes dismissed the complaints, describing them as constant whining from those unwilling to stay active or take risks.
“If they spent less time complaining and more time fighting, maybe they’d get the same attention,” Lopes said.
Lopes emphasized that his success came from his readiness to accept short-notice fights and deliver exciting performances. His popularity, he noted, was built not through talk but through action inside the Octagon.
While critics accused him of “being fast-tracked,” Lopes countered that he never turned down a challenge and earned his place through consistency and entertainment value—two qualities fans and promoters appreciate most.
