By FCF Staff
Another Cage Warriors champ is headed to the UFC, as it’s being reported that Jai Herbert has agreed to fight Marc Diakiese on March 21st.
Diakiese was booked to fight Stevie Ray at UFC London but the lightweight has been forced out of the match-up. Newsome MMA was the first to report Herbert is now fighting Diakiese.
Herbert (10-1) will make his Octagon debut having won six straight fights.
Diakiese (14-3) has won back-to-back bouts and is coming off a decision win over Lando Vannata in September.
UFC London will be headlined by a welterweight fight between Tyron Woodley and Leon Edwards.
