Following his victory over Esteban Ribovics at UFC 327 in Miami, Mateusz Gamrot (26-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC) specifically called out Diego Lopes (27-8 MMA, 6-3 UFC), expressing his willingness to welcome Lopes to the lightweight division. Lopes, who is eyeing a transition to 155 pounds, acknowledged Gamrot's challenge, stating, "It's interesting because I've talked about my desire to move up to 155 pounds." Although currently scheduled to fight Steve Garcia in a featherweight bout on June 14 at UFC Freedom Fights 250 in Washington D.C., Lopes remains keen on competing in both weight classes. He views a potential fight with Gamrot as a significant opportunity, noting Gamrot's experience and ranking in the division. Lopes appreciated the respectful nature of Gamrot's callout, contrasting it with more arrogant approaches seen in the sport. He is determined to stay active in his career and is monitoring the lightweight rankings for future matchups.
