Key Highlights: Lopes dominated early with takedowns before the viral spinning elbow finish, earning Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night bonuses ($50K each). Other bonuses went to Santiago Luna (POTN) and Donchenko for his TUF crown. Total fights: 14, with 85% finishing rate excluding decisions. Main Event Breakdown: Diego Lopes vs Jean Silva – Who Won and Why It MattersIn a clash of styles, Lopes (now 27-7, 6-2 UFC) rebounded from his April title loss to Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 314 with a masterful performance. He controlled Round 1 with ground-and-pound, bloodying Silva early. Round 2 saw Silva (16-3, 5-1 UFC) rally with aggressive strikes, but Lopes countered with the fight-ending spinning back elbow – ironically mirroring Silva's attempts. Post-fight, a cage-side scuffle ensued, with Lopes accusing Silva of a cheap shot; Silva denied it in interviews. This win vaults Lopes back into title contention, potentially setting up a rematch with Volkanovski or Ilia Topuria. Silva's 13-fight streak ends, but his resilience shines. UFC CEO Dana White called it "one of the best fights of 2025." Fighter Stats:

• Diego Lopes: Age 30, Height 5'11", Reach 75", Record 27-7 (12 KOs, 12 Subs). From Brazil/Mexico, 6-2 in UFC with finishes in 4 of last 5 wins.
• Jean Silva: Age 27, Height 5'9", Reach 71", Record 16-3 (12 KOs). DWCS alum, 5-0 UFC entering, known for knockout power.
