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.

Takes decision after weight miss
Onama defeated Jonathan Pearce via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC on ESPN 55 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Onama's performance would have looked much better had he not missed weight by 2.5 pounds Friday morning. He was definitely the more effective striker, as most would have predicted at the start of the evening. On the flip side, he allowed five takedowns to Pearce, but to Onama's credit, he was constantly working to get off of his back and was credited with five reversals. In essence, that won him the fight, because if he stayed planted on the mat for any significant length of time, Pearce likely would have taken the decision. The 29-year-old Factory X product needs to get the weight cutting issues under control, but it's impossible to argue with the recent results. Onama has won five of his last six dating back to February 2022.

Misses weight Friday
Onama weighed in 2.5 pounds heavy ahead of Saturday's bout with Jonathan Pearce at UFC Vegas 91, MMA Junkie reports.
ANALYSIS
Onama will forfeit 20 percent of his fight purse after coming in 2.5 pounds over the featherweight limit. The 29-year-old American, who is 3-2 during his UFC career, will look to continue building his resume in his first fight since June of 2023.
