Brazilian UFC lightweight Diego Lopes reacted to the announcement of a fight against former American belt challenger Brian Ortega.

"I think the chances of getting a title fight if I win are really great. If I defeat Ortega, my ranking will change, I will rise to the top. Undoubtedly, I will become one of the title contenders. If I get a solid win like I did before, then I think there is no doubt that I deserve a title fight," Bloody Elbow quoted Lopez as saying.

It was previously announced that Ortega and Lopez will fight on June 29 at UFC 303 in Las Vegas, USA.
