Diego Lopes Moves Up to Lightweight to Challenge Charles Oliveira for BMF Title at UFC 335

Diego Lopes is changing weight classes to challenge Charles Oliveira for the BMF championship as the main attraction at UFC 335. The event is scheduled for December 12 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, following a formal announcement during the UFC 332 broadcast.

Oliveira enters this bout holding multiple organizational records, including the most submission wins and post-fight bonuses, and will be defending his belt for the first time since claiming it against Max Holloway. Lopes transitions to the 155-pound division following previous featherweight title opportunities and a knockout victory over Steve Garcia at UFC Freedom 250.

Additionally, the upcoming fight card features a heavyweight co-main event pairing Alex Pereira against Sergei Pavlovich, alongside a meeting between Bo Nickal and Joe Pyfer.
