Jhonata Diniz to Take on Marcin Tybura at UFC 309

Jhonata
Diniz’s latest fight camp won’t go to waste.

Diniz was scheduled to meet fellow knockout artist Derrick
Lewis at
UFC Edmonton in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on Saturday. However,
Lewis was forced to withdraw due to a “medical issue” not involving
his weight cut.

While Diniz couldn’t find a replacement opponent for UFC Edmonton,
he won’t have to wait much longer. It was announced during the UFC
Edmonton broadcast that the Brazilian will take on Polish veteran
Marcin
Tybura at UFC 309
on Nov. 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Tybura is 3-2 in his last five bouts and coming off a submission
win over Serghei
Spivac. Meanwhile, Diniz is coming off a unanimous decision win
over Karl
Williams, which is the only time he has gone the distance in
his eight career wins.
