Marc Diakiese has a target on his back following his spectacular 30-second knockout of Teemu Packalen at UFC Fight Night: Manuwa vs Anderson last March.
Just three fights into his UFC tenure, the Congolese-born Brit is already garnering status as a future champion in the lightweight division. This Friday, on the main card of the TUF: Redemption Finale, he will look to bolster his stock again when he takes on a fellow unbeaten prospect, Drakkar Klose.
Despite his star rising to an all-time high after his last outing in London, Diakiese still gets a kick out of seeing some of the bigger names in the division calling him out.
