By The Numbers: Bruno Lopes vs. Marcos Brigagao


The Legacy Fighting Alliance has set the stage for its highly anticipated return to South America with LFA 175, where the coveted light heavyweight championship will be on the line. Set to unfold on this Friday at the Ginasio do Polvilho in Cajamar, Brazil, the event will mark the ninth LFA spectacle to grace the cultural melting point of the nationā€™s financial capital and the 14th on Brazilian soil since the promotionā€™s international expansion in the summer of 2021.

LFA 175 is gearing up for a stellar main event featuring reigning light heavyweight champion Bruno Lopes (11-1) defending his coveted title against a formidable challenger in Marcos Brigagao (17-7). The air is thick with anticipation, the stakes higher than ever. As these two gladiators prepare to engage in some potentially classic violence, we take a closer look at the statistical landscape leading up to this point:

5: Lopes boasts a quintet of devastating knockout/technical knockout victories among his accomplishments. Among his conquests are the notable scalps of Willyanedson Paiva and Lucas Rosa.

4: Do not be misled into thinking Lopes is solely a knockout artist. The 30-year-old possesses a quartet of submission victories, each a moment of mastery painted with the strokes of diverse techniques: arm-triangles, armbars and guillotine chokes.

81: Lopes holds an impressive 81% finish rate that sees nine stoppages among his 11 professional wins.

11: Lopesā€™ best career run featured an impressive 11-fight win streak, which earned him a spot on Dana Whiteā€™s Contender Series in 2023. Unfortunately for ā€œBrunao,ā€ he lost to Brendson Ribeiro via knockout in the first round.

9: Brigagao is a virtuoso at earning first-round victories, boasting nine symphonic finishes that underscore his ruthless killer instinct. This factor looms large in the upcoming contest and can prove to be a formidable asset against the likes of Lopes.

71: Armed with a formidable 71% knockout/technical knockout rate, Brigagao is recognized as a feared finisher in the light heavyweight division.

11: Mirroring Lopes, Brigagao began his career with an unblemished record in his first 11 fights. What is even more captivating is that every one of those 11 victories was sealed with a finish.
