Diego Lopes dissolved Yair Rodriguez about two -time losing skid
The hunters who had to be separated by security were Yair Rodriguez and Diego Lopes, potential opponents at 145 pounds with an apparent history.
If they both won on Saturday, a reporter asked Lopes if he would entertain a fight with Chihuahua's Rodriguez at Noche UFC 3 (UFC 316) in Guadalajara, Mexico, given that Brazil was also Mexico that Rodriguez was not so union.
Lopes asked the reporter how much losses Rodriguez came from.
The reporter answered two in Spanish, because Rodriguez had lost to Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega.
“That's not enough,” said Lopes about Rodriguez who fights again for the title.
Yair Rodriguez accused Diego Lopes of jumping teammate
Rodriguez shot back and called Lopes a 'P ****' in Spanish and ignited a feud in the press.
The translator was left speechlessly at the insult.
Rodriguez came up and also Lopes, stopped by guards on stage. Rodriguez accused Lopes and his team of attacking Marco Beltran.
Beltran is a teammate of Rodriguez's and he fought Lopes in 2019. Lopes defeated Beltran by Kneebar to defend his LUX title in Mexico.
The accusations of Rodriguez leave many unanswered questions, but it is safe to say that Rodriguez and Lopes have unfinished things, argue in Spanish about the microphones.
“You're going to pay for Marco!” Rodriguez told Lopes.
“Don't talk about my team,” Lopes replied to Rodriguez's accusations.
Rodriguez and Lopes argued while Bryce Mitchell tried to take another question from the media.
Even after the UFC 314 press conference had finished with Alexander Volkanovski who was unemployed, even after the UFC 314 press conference had ended.
The UFC security has done their work and prevented a fight between UFC stars that are not even fighting each other this weekend.
