Diego Lopes, with a record of numerous submissions and knockouts, is a dangerous opponent who is always looking for a finish. His aggressive style makes him a constant threat in the octagon. However, he will face a tough test in Brian Ortega.
Brian "T-City" Ortega is known for his exceptional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills, often pulling off submissions from seemingly impossible positions. His ability to adapt and find ways to win is impressive, making him a tough opponent for anyone. Given his grappling prowess, I believe Brian Ortega will win by submission.
