A thrilling heavyweight match-up is on the horizon as Justin Tafa and Jhonata Diniz are set to battle it out at UFC 317. This exciting clash will be part of the annual International Fight Week festivities on June 28th, as confirmed by reports.
UFC 317 is scheduled to take place at the T-Mobile Arena in the vibrant city of Las Vegas. Fans around the world can catch the action live on pay-per-view. While the main event for this highly anticipated card is yet to be announced, the addition of this heavyweight bout promises to deliver fireworks.
Justin Tafa, with a record of 7 wins, 5 losses, and 1 no-contest, is eager to return to the win column after recent setbacks against Karl Williams and Tallison Teixeira. Prior to these losses, Tafa showcased his knockout power with three consecutive first-round finishes. He aims to prove his place in the heavyweight division and replicate his brother Junior Tafa`s success.
Jhonata Diniz, holding an 8-1 record, is looking to bounce back after a doctor`s stoppage loss to Marcin Tybura in November. Before that, Diniz demonstrated his skills with a victory over Karl Williams and a finish of Austen Lane in the UFC. He was previously slated to fight Vitor Petrino, but the bout was cancelled due to Petrino`s injury.
