SYDNEY – Just given his name, extra attention has to be expected for Blood Diamond.
And that likely has a lot to do with why he’s out to prove he’s got more to offer than he’s shown in his first two UFC fights. The New Zealand-based Diamond (3-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) came to the UFC in 2022, but lost fights to Jeremiah Wells and Orion Cosce. Saturday, he’ll go after his long-awaited first UFC win in a bantamweight bout against Charlie Radtke (7-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC). The name of the game will be proving himself.
