In his past outing in March, Diakiese (15-5 MMA, 6-5 UFC) snapped a two-fight losing skid by bouncing Viacheslav Borshchev out of the ranks of the unbeaten with a heavy grappling approach at UFC on ESPN 33. The 29-year-old had fought out his contract and will face Hadzovic in the first fight of his new deal.

Meanwhile, Hadzovic (14-6 MMA, 4-4 UFC) also recently got back in the win column after dropping two straight. “The Bosnian Bomber” is coming off a unanimous decision win over Yancy Medeiros at UFC Fight Night 190 last June.

With the addition, the UFC London lineup includes:

• Curtis Blaydes vs. Tom Aspinall
• Jack Hermansson vs. Darren Till
• Charles Johnson vs. Muhammad Mokaev
• Alexander Gustafsson vs. Nikita Krylov
• Hannah Goldy vs. Molly McCann
• Paul Craig vs. Volkan Oezdemir
• Makwan Amirkhani vs. Jonathan Pearce
• Marc Diakiese vs. Damir Hadzovic
