David Onama will become the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s first athlete from Uganda when he locks horns with Mason Jones this Saturday.
Onama is a short-notice replacement for Alan Patrick, who pulled out of the lightweight matchup with Jones due to COVID-19-related protocol. MMA DNA was first to report the Onama vs. Jones booking. UFC Fight Night 196 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a middleweight showdown between Paulo Costa and Marvin Vettori.
Anchored at Glory MMA & Fitness, Onama is undefeated in eight professional outings.
