UFC fighter Diego Lopes on his personality and rise to fan favorite status

Diego Lopes has become one of the funniest and most likable fighters in the UFC without even trying. Between his laid-back personality, hilarious reactions, signature cowboy hat, and the random moments he creates during interviews and fight weeks, Diego always seems to give fans something to laugh about. That personality is a huge reason he’s become such a fan favorite. The UFC has even described Lopes as one of the roster’s most universally beloved fighters, and his ability to be completely relaxed and funny outside the cage while turning into an absolute savage inside it makes him even more entertaining.
