She translates better than other translators. She says everything word for word! 🙌🏽🔥
I always liked word for word more than the context
@@faleo1044same
No she does not, she’s missing things and is not interpreting in first person, that’s basic for an interpreter. I know so because I am am interpreter myself.
@@jarodnavarro6016well I’m bilingual pal and she did better than most papas
@@jarodnavarro6016 well he is just a trainer partner it seems so it’s not professional she did an alright job if you compare to pereira (Native lenguaje spanish )
His short notice (5 days) fight against an undefeated Evloev (16-0) showed how good he is, and how much potential he has. Glad he is with the ufc, and Im excited to see his future.
topuria will eat this man alive
@@MovieEnthutisast2023 my man, he literally debuted 6 months ago. Why tf would he fight topuria that is fighting for the belt? Im a fan to see the evolution of fighters, not only to see championship fights.
@@MovieEnthutisast2023 these are the worst kind of comments.
Diego is such an incredible addition to the UFC. Also, shout out to Loopy for translating on the fly
He's got such a soft endearing voice, you wouldn't think this guy was a savage.
Was able to see him fight live in Nashville, not only was it an honor but it showed how bright his future is. I’m excited to see where he goes.
Saw him live when he Debuted in Newark. Stunning performance, we all thought he was a lamb going to slaughter, dude blew the roof off the place!!
Damn not simping but Lupita is actually pretty. I like when girls don't wear a pound of make up
Lupita is a supermodel by WMMA standards, and not for jiggle physics reasons like Tabatha Ricci. An beautiful woman !
Love this pair. Very positive energy eminating from this interview
Gotta appreciate this kid for bringing back the mullet with an exciting fighting style. Everyone should consider saving a mullet these days.
Not putting loopy up there in title is disrespect
Hispanics been rocking the mullet man
It's a mohawk
@@sucioooit’s both
He should just get rid of the mullet and keep the hitler fade
Not many people know that Diego is a world record holder for greatest difference in ratio between fighting skill and quality of hair style
She translates better than most people that get hired for the job.
He's a smart dude and already speak Spanish and Portuguese, will learn english really fast
Spanish and Portuguese are extremely similar languages. I speak Spanish and I can understand Portuguese half the time. Learning English is way harder
@@benlewis5312 I'm from Brasil and took me some months to learn the basics by myself, I truste he will have the right help
@@benlewis5312English is a lot easier.
De acuerdo. Estoy aprendiendo español y inglés es bastante diferente. Aunque creo que sería más difícil aprender inglés para un hispanohablante que un hablante nativo de inglés aprender español.@@benlewis5312
Great guy, humble and good fighter 🇧🇷👏
Is he Mexican or Brazilian ?
@@sdmfp333 born in Brazil grew up in mexico
@@sdmfp333Brazilian 🇧🇷
@@lacewavy no, he's been there for 7 years I believe
@@sdmfp333 Brazilian
Dudes a savage, will tune in every time

Prospect of the year!
Instant fan. He's exciting in the cage and seems very genuine and level headed. Bright future

We need a Diego Lopes/Ricky Simon new-age mullet off.
Loopy got a crush on Diego for sure

@@toribiodelrey the way she looks at him
@@lupe103344522idk I get more brother & sister vibes from them. Their whole team seams pretty close
Handsome AL Iaquinta
if theo von was a UFC fighter..
Nah that’s Jimmy Crute
Love watching this guy fight. I think he’s a dark horse in the division.
Diegoat will be ranked soon 🇲🇽🇧🇷🐐
🇧🇷🇲🇽
My new favorite fighter Diego Lopes 🔥🔥
I love this so much! This guy is a MONSTER and She’s a BEAST! Both will hold titles
absolute stud
Exelent interview, this is a good channell, Exelente entrevista, este es un buen canal
his tenacity and fighting spirit is superb.
Let’s go Lopez!👍
diego chads rise up
This dude looks just like a young Patrick Swazy in Roadhouse 🔥
This kids the real deal
Diego already has all of Latin America on his back . He’s going to be next UFC super star, mark my words
This man Diego is so talented he will be champ
These two are adorable ☺
Diego is such a chad
Great guy
Love both these fighters
This dude has the most likeable vibe ever
big fan!
Very articulate with hands, Loopy, applause
Diego Peso Pluma Lopes 🇲🇽🇧🇷💪🔥
🇧🇷
They should make some kids and train them!
I’m a fan of this dude. Future top 5 or champ
I never would have believe Diego is Brazilian😮. He straight up looks Mexican, and even his Spanish is identical. Maybe I misunderstood, but did arial / loopy say that he only knows Spanish but not Portuguese? That's crazy if so. Anyways a match up with Bryce FlatEarther would be very, very welcoming 👊 I totally would love to see that!
He speaks fluent Portuguese aswell I’m pretty sure, seen him do interviews speaking it
He speaks both,but has been living in Mexico for quite awhile so he sometimes mixes both languages😂.He said in an interview that he will alternate languages,in his second fight he did media in portuguese and in the last fight he did it in spanish because he wants to represent both.
His first language is Portuguese, his second language is Spanish, and he is learning English.
@@cyborg-zl2mc You're probably right. I think in his postfight interview on Saturday, he was speaking in some hybrid of Spanish and Portuguese. and although I recognize some Spanish words in a rather strange tone; Fabian, the main UFC translator, was still translating from Rogan in English to Spanish to him 😄 It was a bit odd.
His Spanish is identical? He has a very thick Brazilian Portuguese accent lol. He speaks well though
That translator♥️
🇲🇽🔥
I had no idea he was Brazilian I thought he was a white skater boy type guy from California with a no ragret tattoo
That woman must be a fighter with that shiner!
She is, her name is Loopy Godines and she won her bout on the same card.
you are new to UFC if you dont know Loopy. She is good.
I like this "young neymar" haircut style 😂
Lopes looks like an undercover cop on a high-school
Love you Lopez
Ufc needs to upgrade his contract and get a bigger show and win contract
Increíble "Guadalupe" guerrera, traductora, la mujer moderna. Punta de lanza....
Viva Loopy! Viva!
DIEGOAT
Loopy looking for a new UFC Translator job, I love her
Looks like Jose Canseco in the Simpsons episode where mr. Burns tells him to cut his sideburns.
Loopy is so impressive.
Diego brabo pegando a mexicana Hahaha
Será 😂😂
@@geovaniadacosta522 Parece que rola um clima entre eles pô
If Junior H and Peso Pluma had a child he would be the outcome lol
Im a fan from the lost he’s unbelievable
give Him Ige next !!
Chingon Diego
Lopes will become a star with some favorable matchups. I think ufc is doing the right thing with him. At first they made a mistake by giving him Brito on DWCS but he fought movsar, he has leveled up since then. 2 first round back to back finishes. Sabatini is so damn chinney lol and Lopes is huge for 145
Man, Loopy is beautiful
loopy is so fine bro
Isn't he 3 bonus in 3 fights crazy
I think he’d beat Bryce Mitchell tomorrow and that movsar evloev is secretly a top 5 fighter in the weight class
diego lopez beschter man esketit
Future champion
LOL Ariel always with questions and follow up questions regarding fighters' hairstyles
They are or would be, a good couple lol
You can see/feel the vibes between them
They should date.
That’s Alexa’s man
Superstar in the making. Will be even bigger if he learns English.
This dudes super talented. Why is he speaking Spanish when he is Brazilian? I was like wait that dont sound like Portugese.
Well he trains and works in Mexico so he has to speak Spanish and also he had to speak Spanish in this interview so loopy could translate for him
How else is she supposed to translate for him? She doesn't speak Portuguese.
@@jayn6943 I was just surprised that he learned Spanish and Portuguese. I know they are similar but it still impressive.
@@thedust850 I meant that he was speaking in Spanish because neither Ariel or her speak Portuguese
Loopy imo is the prettiest girl in the UFC
is he brazilian?
Yes
Loopy so pretty 😈
I get high and watch the fights sometimes. Everytime I watch this dude fights it looks scripted and only this guy 😂 I think it’s just the weed tho but has this ever happened to anyone?
Are you high right now?
Fighters better get Ariel to pay for these interviews. At least the company he works for better pay these fighters
Who’s the babe with black curly hair??
From the thumbnail i thought hed brought in some overbearing girlfriend to be in the interview- thank god it was his translator!
He looks like mexican colby
Brazilian Colby * lol
damn im dumb i assumed bc of spanish lol@@wjv88
nobody is not excited for this guys future.
Who doesn’t absolutely love loopy? My god she is a delightful, charming human being who is an absolute badass fighter. I don’t always agree or like Ariel. He makes 🇨🇦 look bad but he is without doubt the Barbara Walter’s of mma interviewers. Not a real journalist. And I don’t subscribe to degenerate gambling channels.
He needs to learn English he’s gonna be a star
😉🇧🇷👏🇧🇷👏🇧🇷
FELICITACIONES A DIEGO, ALEXA Y LOOPY...SE MERECEN TODO LO BUENO EN LA VIDA QUE LES ESTÁ LLEGANDO, POR SUS GRANDES ESFUERZOS!!! ABRAZOS!!! SOY SU FAN
why does he prefer to talk spanish??when he's brazilian
Because Loopy speaks Spanish not Portuguese and he needed her to translate
@@lupe103344522😂😂🤦🏽♂️
@@lupe103344522but he was also talking in Spanish to the Brazilian translator after the Sabatini fight
Yes you are right Loopy speaks Spanish, he also said that he speaks Spanish because he wants to reach an even bigger audience with Spanish and he is also learning English.
Both languages are pretty similar I'm Brazilian and I can understand everything they are saying in Spanish, but he lives there so he speaks their language of course
Who is the female fighter?
Loopy Godinez
Leave his haircut alone...that made him different
His name is Mexican but Is he actually Brazilian or Mexican?
Brazilian but lives and trains in Mexico
Diego Lopes is a Brazilian name bro
@@ciunada it’s actually from Spain but you’ll find it in all Latin America
Lopes is Portuguese, Lopez is Spanish
