However, this report is false. The handle jokingly posted a fake report and it is not the first time that Sydney Sweeney has been linked to a famous UFC fighter. Previously, she was linked to former UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira to entertain fans.

At UFC 303, Diego Lopes faced Dan Ige on just four hours’ notice and showed why he belongs at the top of the division. Despite the short notice, the fight was a historic match that brought fans to their feet and cheered on both fighters.

UFC 303 was a challenging event for Diego Lopes. Initially, he was scheduled to fight the number three featherweight, Brian Ortega.

However, just hours before the weigh-in, Ortega was unable to maintain weight and withdrew from the competition due to illness.

The UFC offered Lopes the option to not fight and still get paid, but Lopes chose to fight anyone on short notice. Dan Ige stepped in and their fight became one for the history books.

Lopes tweeted about the chaotic lead-up to his co-main event at UFC 303, summing up the madness this way: “I took the fight on 2 weeks notice to fight the number 3 featherweight, changed weight classes multiple times, and had my opponent swapped 3 hours before the event.

“The UFC gave me the option not to accept it, but I chose to fight anyone, anytime, anywhere, at any weight.”
