Diego Lopes and Jean Silva are primed for big things. Lopes and Silva, two of the featherweight division's most potent finishers, headline UFC Fight Night, dubbed Noche UFC, on Saturday. The winner puts themselves on solid ground for a UFC title shot.

Lopes (26-7) has enjoyed one of the fastest rises of any UFC fighter in the modern era. He challenged Alexander Volkanovski for the vacant UFC featherweight championship 23 months removed from his short-notice UFC debut. Lopes fought commendably in a unanimous decision loss to Volkanovski and sits comfortably as the UFC's No. 2-ranked featherweight. His success culminates in a marquee spot this weekend.
