Marc Diakiese vs. Lando Vannata announced for UFC Copenhagen

Marc Diakiese and Lando Vannata will both be looking to put together winning streaks when they collide in Denmark.

Officials announced Friday that Diakiese and Vannata will meet in a lightweight bout at UFC Copenhagen on Sept. 28 at Royal Arena. The matchup was first reported by Newsome MMA.

Diakiese (13-3) recently snapped a three-fight skid by winning a unanimous decision over Joseph Duffy at UFC London this past March. The 26-year-old Englishman won his first 12 pro bouts, including his first three in the UFC, before slumping.

Vannata, 26, who sports one of the strangest UFC records at 2-3-2, is coming off of a first-round submission over win over Marcos Mariano at UFC 234. Prior to that victory, he recorded two draws in three appearances, fighting Matt Frevola and Bobby Green to a stalemate. His overall pro record stands at 10-3-2.

UFC Copenhagen will be headlined by a middleweight bout between Jack Hermansson and Jared Cannonier. The main card airs live on the ESPN+ streaming service.
