Finds range after slow start
Onama defeated Roberto Romero via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC 309 on Saturday in New York City.
ANALYSIS
Accepting a late-notice opponent change and entering as a -1450 favorite, largest on the entire card, Onama figured things out despite a slow start. This was a rout by the time the final bell rang, but things were hairy for the favorite in Round 1. He was knocked down early on and seemed to be in real trouble before quickly recovering and turning the tables on the debuting Romero. Onama got stronger as the fight progressed, which wasn't a surprise given the fact he was the one with a full training camp under his belt. Now 5-1 in his past six fights dating back to February 2022, Onama looks better every time we see him, and he's quickly climbing the rankings in a loaded lightweight division.

Receives new opponent
Onama will now fight Roberto Romero at UFC 309 on Saturday, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Lucas Almeida was forced to withdraw from the fight for unknown reasons, so Onama will now face an opponent who will be making his UFC debut. Momentum will likely be on Onama's side Saturday, as he's won each of his last two fights and four of his last five.

Needs new opponent
Onama (undisclosed) is in need of a new opponent as Lucas Almeida is no longer on the UFC 309 card, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Onama will now need to find a new opponent for a fight that takes place in 10 days' time. It's unclear why Almeida was forced off the card, but either way, he leaves Onama hanging on extremely short notice. The lightweight was looking for his third consecutive win after knocking off Gabriel Santos and Jonathan Pearce.
