Diego Lopez, UFC featherweight, named the next contender for the championship fight.
“It’s definitely Movsar. The UFC has been keeping him on ice for a long time, and even though not everyone likes his style, he has won key fights and deserves to fight for the belt — he has earned it. Rodriguez also performed well in his last fight. I think the UFC promised him something. It’s unlikely he would agree to fight a newcomer outside the rankings without any guarantee. So either of them can fight for the belt, and whoever doesn’t get a title shot — let them fight me. I want to compete at the tournament in Guadalajara, and I need such a fight that the UFC will say: win it — and you’ll fight for the title,” — MMA Junkie quotes Lopez.
