Lopes is a striker who hunts the finish — of his 28 wins, 12 come by knockout, 12 by submission, and 4 by decision. He's a genuine finisher: 86% of those wins came inside the distance. 2 of his 8 defeats have come by KO/TKO, suggesting real vulnerability against powerful strikers. He's at his best when the fight stays standing — the live question in any matchup is whether an opponent can drag him into grappling he'd rather avoid.
