Heavyweights Karl Williams, Jhonata Diniz Booked for August UFC Fight Night Event

A heavyweight meeting between two
Dana White’s Contender Series competitors has been added to a
UFC Fight Night event set to go down at the
Ultimate Fighting Championship Apex in Las Vegas on Aug.
10.

Karl
Williams (10-1) will take on undefeated Brazilian Jhonata
Diniz (7-0) in his fourth Octagon assignment. The news was
first reported by Laerte Viana in a post to X (formerly known as Twitter).

The news was later confirmed by both competitors on their social
media accounts.

Williams will lock horns with Diniz aiming to extend his
three-fight winning streak, which includes unanimous decision
victories over Lukasz
Brzeski, Chase
Sherman and most recently Justin
Tafa.

Meanwhile, Diniz will make his sophomore appearance inside the
Octagon coming off a spectacular Round 2 knockout over Austen Lane
in his promotional debut at
UFC on ESPN 55 on April 27.
