It is an fascinating matchup. Nevertheless, there are some apparent issues.

In the meantime, Lopez has solely KO’d Jean Silva as soon as. The opposite downside is that there are two different gamers on this division who deserve a greater likelihood than Lopez. These are Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy, each undefeated and with large wins. Evloev additionally has a win in opposition to Lopez.
Sadly, the UFC 325 lineup leaves lots to be desired past the principle occasion. This struggle consists of two nice light-weight bouts between Dan Hooker and Benoit St. Denis and two between Mauricio Ruffy and Rafael Fiziev, however aside from that it is an objectively weak card. That is very true after Thursday’s predominant card mild heavyweight bout between Jimmy Crute and Dustin Jacoby fell aside.
