Lane vs Diniz Prediction 28 April 2024

Many are anticipating the showdown between Austin Lane and Johnata Diniz, which will take place on April 28 at UFC on ESPN 55, and for which you must definitely check out our prediction to choose the best bet. After all, both heavyweights are not so well known to a wide circle of MMA fans. Austin has fought in the UFC 2 times and has yet to secure a victory here. And Johnata will be making his debut in the world's strongest league.

The 36-year-old American Austin Lane started his professional career in 2017, amassing a record of 12 wins, 4 losses, and one bout declared a no-contest to date. In the UFC, the fighter has a record of 0-1 (1), and he needs to secure a win in the organization now to avoid having his contract terminated. Lane is good at striking and relies on his punch. All 12 of the American's wins were finishes, with 11 knockouts.

The 32-year-old Brazilian Johnata Diniz, who debuts in the league with a perfect professional record of 6-0, also excels with a knockout punch. Being a basic kickboxer, competing in both Glory and WGP Kickboxing, Johnata is also fully focused on the knockout in the octagon. But let's be objective, the Brazilian previously fought in very weak promotions, such as Spartacus MMA, Metanoia FC, and Imortal FC.
