Diego Lopes accused Yair Rodriguez of refusing a fight offer for Noche UFC, which takes place on September 13 in San Antonio, Texas. Lopes shared his frustration through social media, referencing their previous altercation at UFC 314. After losing to Alexander Volkanovski in April, Lopes was eager for a comeback but Rodriguez's unwillingness to face him has raised eyebrows. While Rodriguez denies any personal issues, the competitive landscape continues to shift with Movsar Evloev also in contention for future title shots.
Hey, Yair Rodríguez, I just realized that you received a call from Hunter and refused to fight me at Noche UFC. Where is the man who was in front of me at the press conference?
Rodriguez later explained that the issue involved his friend, former UFC fighter Marco Beltran, and it was the latter's story to tell.
