NEW YORK – Diego Lopes is approaching UFC star status, if he’s not there already. Already with an increased level of popularity and buzz compared to his fellow two-UFC-fight counterparts, Lopes (23-6 MMA, 2-1 UFC) kicked off the UFC 295 main card vs. Pat Sabatini (18-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC ), whom he blasted with a brutal barrage of knockout blows until the stoppage at 1:30 of Round 1. In the final moments of the fight, Lopes successfully defended a takedown attempt and cranked Sabatini with an uppercut. The blow sent Sabatini backward as he staggered and crashed into the cage. Sabatini hit the canvas, and Lopes continued to pound the consciousness out of him.
