Onama will take on Lucas Alexander in a lightweight bout at a UFC event on Nov. 4 in Sao Paolo, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Onama is coming off an upset of Gabriel Santos back in June, and he'll look to keep the momentum going in what will be his sixth UFC bout.

Pulls upset of Gabriel Santos
LightweightUFC
June 24, 2023
Onama defeated Gabriel Santos via KO (punch) at 4:13 of Round 2 at UFC on ABC 5 on Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida.
ANALYSIS
It's not how you start, it's how you finish. Onama had his moments in Round 1, but it was Santos who was the aggressor and nearly ended the fight with a pair of deep submission attempts. The gap appeared to be closing late in Round 2, at which point Onama blasted a clearly exhausted Santos with an uppercut that found its mark, followed by a follow-up shot which knocked the Brazilian out cold. Onama is a roller coaster, even on a round-by-round basis, but it's impossible to argue with the results thus far. He's 3-1 in his past four bouts, with all three wins coming via stoppage. He'll also take home a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus for his efforts here.
