Lopez Reflects on Loss to Volkanovski: Despite Perfect Preparation, It Wasnt Enough

Former UFC featherweight title contender (up to 65 kg) Diego Lopez from Brazil shared his thoughts on the loss to Australian fighter Alex Volkanovski, which took place at UFC 314 in April.

«The preparation was flawless. I spent two months in Puebla, bringing my coaches along, including my coach from Guadalajara who stayed with me for the entire duration. I also brought in a trainer from Oklahoma to assist with my takedown defense. One of my sponsors even provided me with a personal chef who cooked for me daily. I executed everything perfectly, and the weight cut was the easiest of my career. Sometimes, you can do everything right, but it still might not be enough. That’s exactly what happened,» Lopez stated in an interview with the YouTube channel Hablemos MMA.
