It’s been a while since the MMA Depressed-us was on the air. With the UFC’s constant schedule, gaps are few & far between. But we’ve finally got one this week, which means a great opportunity to talk about one of MMA’s ultimate journeymen. None other than longtime 'King of the Cage' stalwart, and a bar to entry for many, many UFC heavyweights over the years: Tony Lopez. We didn’t have time to watch all of Lopez’s fights out of the UFC Fight Pass library (or even scratch the surface of his 96-bout career), so we chose a few bouts spread out across the breadth of his years plugging away on MMA’s regional scene. First up, is a bout against an old-school UFC heavyweight and current bare-knuckle-boxing contender: Joey Beltran at KOTC: 'Opposing Force' in 2008. From there, we’re hitting former UFC light heavyweight and current heavyweight fighter Ilir Latifi, in their 2012 Glory MMA fight. That brings us to a former UFC middleweight and multiple-time Strikeforce competitor: Trevor Prangley at KOTC: 'It’s Personal' in 2013. And finally wrapping up with a kickboxing bout against recent UFC debutant Chris Barnett, at 'Xtreme Fight Night 363' in 2019. As is our usual, we’re watching all three of these fights on UFC Fight Pass; starting each video from the beginning, on Zane’s count. If you’re not watching on Fight Pass, Connor will attempt to note when Round 1 begins, so you can sync other video sources there. Be sure to follow Zane on twitter @TheZaneSimon, follow Connor, @BoxingBusch, follow Phil @EvilGregJackson, and follow @BloodyElbow for all the latest in MMA happenings.
