A heavyweight fight between Justin Tafa and Jhonata Diniz is scheduled for UFC`s International Fight Week on June 28th. This was confirmed by MMA sources following initial reports from Laerte Viana.
UFC 317 will be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event will be a pay-per-view, although the main event for the card has not yet been announced.
Justin Tafa (7-5, 1 no-contest) aims to recover from recent losses to Karl Williams and Tallison Teixeira. Prior to these setbacks, he had a streak of three first-round knockout victories, but his current UFC record stands at 4 wins, 5 losses, and 1 no-contest. He is also the brother of fighter Junior Tafa.
Jhonata Diniz (8-1) is coming off a loss to Marcin Tybura due to a doctor`s stoppage in November, which he took on short notice. Before that, he secured a decision win against Karl Williams and finished Austen Lane in the UFC. Diniz was previously set to fight Vitor Petrino in March, but Petrino withdrew due to injury.
