Jhonata Diniz, after being removed from UFC Edmonton due to Derrick Lewis‘s medical issue, will face Marcin Tybura at UFC 309 in Madison Square Garden on November 16, aiming to improve his undefeated record.
Jhonata Diniz, who recently missed a big fight against Derrick Lewis just before UFC Edmonton, now finds himself on a grand stage at Madison Square Garden. Quite the turn of events, huh?
On Saturday’s UFC Edmonton broadcast, it was revealed that Diniz will face Marcin Tybura at UFC 309. Mark your calendars for Nov. 16 in New York—it’s gonna be epic!
Diniz got pulled from Saturday’s Fight Night after Lewis had a medical issue unrelated to weight cutting. Now, he’s aiming to boost his pro record to 9-0 and go 3-0 in the UFC. He earned his contract through Dana White’s Contender Series and has already knocked out Austen Lane in his debut. Not too shabby for the 33-year-old.
Meanwhile, Tybura is eager to bounce back after a first-round loss to Serghei Spivac at UFC Vegas 95. Before that hiccup, “Tybur” took down Tai Tuivasa in the opening round at UFC Vegas 88. Can he regain his momentum?
And let’s not forget—UFC 309 is headlined by a heavyweight title clash between Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic. Heavyweight fireworks are expected!
