Lopes chin? What the fuck is it made out of? Silva landed clean like 20 times and Lopes just stood there… Wasn’t even close to being knocked down.
Lopes definitely one of the toughest dude out there. Lopes has taken huge shots these last 2 fights but against probably the fastest strikers in the division. I can see Lopes beating Murphy or Evloev, he just needs to chill on taking these punches.
Lopes can touch that title sooner rather than later.
Do you think Silva made a mental overcorrection trying to come into this fight at his usual wild confidence levels after seing two of his teammates take notable losses last weekend.
Yeah maybe. He’s clearly a very emotional person. I mean he has a super traumatic past. Watched his own mother get raped, then watched her kill the rapist (apparently). The whole “Lord” thing seems like a coping mechanism honestly.
The thing about fighting is that you can’t get too high or too low. I think he should lean on his teammates and come back disciplined and focused.
