Despite entertaining beef, Marc Diakiese will not be fighting Paul Felder next

Tom Taylor - April 26, 2017

Earlier this year, when the UFC touched down in London, England, undefeated lightweight prospect Marc Diakiese picked up one of the best knockouts of 2017 thus far, one-punching Teemu Packalen just 30 seconds into the first round of the fight. With this win, Diakiese moved to an impressive 12-0, and set himself up for a big step up in competition. For a time, it looked as though he’d get that step up in competition, as he and established lightweight striker Paul Felder began engaging in a heated war of words in interviews and on social media.

Marc Diakiese and Paul Felder get heated, set up a fight on Twitter

Tom Taylor - March 21, 2017

Last weekend, on the undercard of the UFC’s latest trip to London, England, undefeated Congolese-British lightweight Marc Diakiese scored a thunderous, first-round knockout over the game Teemu Packalen. Though Diakiese was already considered a prospect, this win thrust him even further into the lightweight limelight. Having emerged as a fighter to watch in the UFC lightweight division, Diakiese now has something of a target on his back – as evidenced by the recent callout he received from American striking specialist Paul Felder.
