LFA light heavyweight champion Bruno Lopes is one impressive performance away from a UFC contract – as is his opponent, Brendson Ribeiro . Lopes (11-0) and Ribeiro (14-5) will fight on the fifth episode of Season 7 of Dana White’s Contender Series, which takes place Sept. 5 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous because the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Lopes, 30, has finished nine of his 11 professional opponents with five knockouts and four submissions. At LFA 143 in September 2022, Lopes won LFA gold with a knockout of Willyanedson Paiva.
