“Movsar is next in the International Fight Week, give me the rematch… I think the first fight speaks for itself,” Lopes said during a post-fight media scrum. “I think whatever fights came after that, they say I deserve a rematch.”
While Lopes has since racked up three first-round stoppage wins, Evloev earned a decision win over Arnold Allen at UFC 297 in January, which was openly criticized by White. Lopes labeled Evloev “Mr. Decision,” whose only fight liked by White was with him, according to the Brazilian.
“I think it’s really actually funny that he went on social media and said that my greatest feat was to have a fight against him,” Lopes said. “And I went back on social media and told him, ‘Well, your greatest feat is to make Dana White like a fight that you’re involved [in], which is the one I was involved [in]. So I like to call him decision man. I even coined the term ‘Mr. Decision.’ I think his work speaks for it, and my work speaks for myself.”
