After a seven-year run in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Marc Diakiese finds himself on the brink of his Bellator MMA debut. He signed with the Professional Fighters League after parting ways with the UFC and faces Tim Wilde in a Bellator Champions Series 5 lightweight showcase on Saturday at the OVO Arena Wembley in London. At 31 years of age and 24 fights into his pro career, Diakiese believes he may just be getting off the ground.
“I feel like I just hit my prime,” he told Sherdog.
