A battle of top-15 featherweights will headline the UFC’s upcoming card on July 15 from “Fight Island” as Calvin Kattar is expected to face off with Dan Ige in the main event.
Multiple sources confirmed the fight to MMA Fighting following an initial report from ESPN.
Ige has made a rapid rise up the featherweight ranks during his current six-fight win streak including a victory over Edson Barboza in his most recent performance.
The Hawaiian also holds wins over Mirsad Bektic, Kevin Aguilar and Jordan Griffin but now he’ll look to make an even bigger statement over an established contender in the 145-pound division.
