Marc Diakiese has turned his UFC future around once before, but doesn't feel that he needs to do it again this weekend against Viacheslav Borshchev.
When the promotion came to the UK in 2019, Diakiese was facing the chop in a crunch clash with veteran Joseph Duffy at The O2 arena after three straight losses following an unbeaten career start. But his fortunes began to change when he earned the decision against the Irishman and went on to beat Lando Vannata next time out.
However he now faces a similar predicament after two losses in a row against Rafael Fiziev and Rafael Alves following a period of inactivity due to the coronavirus pandemic. But he insists he is focused on winning, and that the situation now is very different to the Duffy fight.
