Dustin Jacoby believes he should only compete with big cards and events in front of fans.
Jacoby won the highlight reel KO victory over Vitor Petrino in December. He will return to the octagon against Brunolopez at UFC Vegas 107 on Saturday.

“I feel the same way,” Jacoby told bjpenn.com. “I’m a little upset. I’m 37 years old and at the end of my big picture career. I don’t want to waste time on top. I feel like I’ve paid my dues. I have a bonus performance on the night in front of 20,000 fans, performances from all the fans around the world. Me.”
Not only is Dustin Jacoby irritated at fighting at the top, he is also surprised by his opponents. Jacoby is playing against Bruno Lopes, who is only 1-0N in the UFC.
“I was a little surprised. And for a long time we couldn’t say yes or no. I never said no to the fight, but my coach wanted to see the film first so I couldn’t find him a film,” Jacoby said. “We finally got the film and found out who he is. We were surprised by the matchup, but he’s 14-1, he’s 1-0 in the UFC and he’s coming to take my spot.
