A heavyweight fight between Justin Tafa and Jhonata Diniz is scheduled for UFC 317, taking place during the annual International Fight Week on June 28th. This was confirmed by MMA sources.

Justin Tafa (7-5, 1 no-contest) aims to recover from recent losses to Karl Williams and Tallison Teixeira. Prior to these setbacks, he had secured three consecutive first-round knockout victories, but his UFC record currently stands at 4-5 with one no-contest.
Jhonata Diniz (8-1) is coming off a loss to Marcin Tybura due to a doctor`s stoppage, which he took on short notice. Before that, he had earned a win by decision against Karl Williams and a finish against Austen Lane in the UFC. Diniz was previously scheduled to fight Vitor Petrino in March, but Petrino withdrew due to injury.
