Lando Vannata vs. Marc Diakiese Added to UFC Copenhagen Lineup

A lightweight clash pitting Lando Vannata against Marc Diakiese has been added to the UFC Copenhagen bill.

Sherdog.com confirmed the booking with a source close to the situation following initial reports from MMAjunkie.com and Newsome MMA. UFC Fight Night 160 takes place at Royal Arena in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Sept. 28 and is headlined by a middleweight showdown between Jack Hermansson and Jared Cannonier. The card will stream on ESPN+.

Vannata, who is probably best known for his entertaining short-notice Octagon debut against Tony Ferguson, earned his first win since December 2016 at UFC 234, where he submitted Marcos Mariano with a kimura in the opening stanza.
