UFC London gets Marc Diakiese-Damir Hadzovic lightweight matchup

Marc Diakiese will square off against Damir Hadzovic in a lightweight bout at UFC London on July 23.

Promotion officials recently announced the pairing. UFC London takes place at the O2 Arena and is headlined by a heavyweight showdown pitting Curtis Blaydes against Tom Aspinall.

Hadzovic also ended a two-fght skid in his most recent appearance, as he outpointed Yancy Medeiros at UFC Fight Night 190 in June 2021. “The Bosnian Bomber” is 4-4 within the Las Vegas-based promotion and 14-6 over the course of his pro career.
