UFC featherweight contender Diego Lopes has released a statement following his UFC 325 defeat to Alexander Volkanovski.

In the main event of UFC 325, Diego Lopes came up short in his attempt to capture the UFC featherweight championship. For the second time, he was outclassed by Alexander Volkanovski in a fight that helped to prove once again why ‘The Great’ is one of the very best featherweights to ever compete in mixed martial arts.

In equal measure, it raised plenty of questions about Diego Lopes’ ability to be a long-term threat at 145 pounds.
