BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Alexander Volkanovski vs. Diego Lopes 2:

Mario Bautista, UFC bantamweight: I actually think Diego gets it done. I think he makes the right adjustments and has the power to KO Volkanovski.

Modestas Bukauskas, UFC light heavyweight: I’m going with Diego Lopes. I think he learned a lot from the first fight and has dynamite in his hands. He’s going to get it done in enemy territory.

Dustin Jacoby, UFC light heavyweight: I’m going with Diego Lopes. I think he can learn a lot from the first fight to get the win.

Gillian Robertson, UFC strawweight: I think it’s gonna be similar to the first fight, where Volkanovski takes over in the later rounds, avoids the power shots, and wins a decision again. He’s also fighting at home in Australia. So he’ll want to put on a show.

Cody Brundage, UFC middleweight: Lopes had some moments in the first fight, and if he can make the adjustment, he can win, which I expect him to do.

Adam Fuguitt, UFC welterweight: I’ll say, Diego, we have the same manager. I also think he learned a lot from the first fight.
