In the co-main event of UFC 283, which will take place inside Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of the greatest rivalries in promotional history resumes as Flyweight kingpin, Deiveson Figueiredo, battles interim belt keeper, Brandon Moreno, for a fourth (and likely final) time.

Knowing Diamond’s background in kickboxing Wells wasted little time tying things up along the cage and securing an important takedown. From there, Wells worked hard to secure a rear-naked choke. Diamond did really well to defend early and positioned himself to stay in the fight, but Wells’ efforts eventually paid off when he got under the chin later in the round and put the striker to sleep.
