It’s uncommon to see fighter shift organizations after a UFC win, but Marc Diakiese is one of the few exceptions.
PFL announced at this past Thursday’s 2024 PFL 4 event that it had signed Diakiese (17-7) to an exclusive contract. The news came as a surprise to some, because Diakiese was last seen earning a split decision victory over Kaue Fernandes at UFC Fight Night 231 in November.
Diakiese made his UFC debut in October 2016 and went 8-7 over a 15-fight stint with the organization. Diakiese revealed the fight with Fernandes was the last on his contract, and although his expectations were to sign a new UFC contract, he said PFL swooped in with an irresistible offer.
