Diakiese re-signs with UFC on 4-fight deal

The UFC has locked down one of their brightest prospects at 155 pounds.

Undefeated British lightweight Marc Diakiese told SevereMMA.com's Niall McGrath on the "Talking Brawls" podcast that he has signed a new 4-fight contract to compete inside the Octagon. The 24-year-old Diakiese won his first three UFC fights and he is 12-0 in his professional career.

Six of Diakiese's wins have come by way of knockout and he authored one of 2017's best finishes in March when he needed just 30 seconds to shut down Teemu Packalen.
