Now, Diniz, that Brazilian powerhouse, is gunning for win number two in the Ultimate. He’s not playing around, folks. The buzz started with a tweet from Laerte Viana on May 27, 2024. Yeah, you heard that right. 2024!
So, what’s the big deal about this fight? Well, it’s a heavyweight clash. Both these guys have strutted their stuff on Dana White’s Contender Series. And now, they’re bringing their A-game to the UFC Fight Night event. The venue? None other than the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Here’s a bit more juice on the match. Karl Williams, with a record of 10-1, is facing off against the unbeaten Jhonata Diniz, who’s 7-0. This isn’t just any fight; it’s Williams’ fourth time stepping into the Octagon. And where did this news break? On X, thanks to Laerte Viana.
But wait, there’s more. Both fighters have confirmed the news on their socials. Talk about making it official, huh?
Williams is on a roll, aiming to keep his winning streak alive. He’s already taken down Lukasz Brzeski, Chase Sherman, and Justin Tafa. All by unanimous decision, no less.
As for Diniz, this isn’t his first rodeo. He’s coming off a jaw-dropping Round 2 knockout against Austen Lane. That was back at UFC on ESPN 55 on April 27. And let me tell you, it was something to see.
So, mark your calendars. This is one fight you won’t want to miss.
