In multiple interviews , Lopez (10-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) called for a rematch with Rani Yahya (23-9 MMA, 8-3 UFC), the guy who spoiled his UFC debut. Come hell or high water, that was a fight he wanted to do again. But after emphatically stopping Eduardo (28-11 MMA, 3-3 UFC) in front of hostile crowd at UFC 212, Yahya’s name didn’t come up once.
