Marc Diakiese is coming off his first professional defeat to Drakkar Klose, but he has been handed the biggest assignment of his young career as he is set to face New Zealand’s Daniel Hooker on Dec. 30 at UFC 219.
According to the highly touted UK prospect, he has received information from Hooker’s training camp that he may be able to use to his advantage when they finally lock horns at the T-Mobile Arena.
Diakiese believes that “The Hangman” is the best striker he has faced, but he has found some comfort in knowing how he is preparing for their fight from the messages he has received from his opponent’s camp.
