After a stunning change of opponents from Brian Ortega to Dan Ige at the 11th hour, Diego Lopes maintained focus en route to victory at UFC 303.

Ortega withdrew due to illness in the hours leading up to his scheduled co-main event, and the promotion somehow got Ige (19-8 MMA, 10-7 UFC) to step in as a replacement against Lopes (24-6 MMA, 4-1 UFC) on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and he got the job done by METHOD.

It’s one of the wildness developments in UFC history, but in the end, Lopes’ winning streak hit three consecutive fights.

Check below for the top X (formerly Twitter) reactions to Lopes beating Ige at UFC 303.
