Lopes is riding high on a unique triangle-armbar submission win over Gavin Tucker at last month's UFC Nashville event. The 28-year-old has also recently disclosed that he inked a new multi-fight deal with the UFC.

On the other hand, Sabatini secured a second-round submission triumph against Lucas Almeida at UFC Vegas 75 back in June. The 32-year-old American bounced back from a rapid TKO defeat he faced against Damon Jackson in September 2022.
