Jhonata Diniz’s latest fight camp won’t go to waste.
Diniz was scheduled to meet fellow knockout artist Derrick Lewis at UFC Edmonton in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on Saturday. However, Lewis was forced to withdraw due to a “medical issue” not involving his weight cut.

While Diniz couldn’t find a replacement opponent for UFC Edmonton, he won’t have to wait much longer. It was announced during the UFC Edmonton broadcast that the Brazilian will take on Polish veteran Marcin Tybura at UFC 309 on Nov. 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Tybura is 3-2 in his last five bouts and coming off a submission win over Serghei Spivac. Meanwhile, Diniz is coming off a unanimous decision win over Karl Williams, which is the only time he has gone the distance in his eight career wins.
