An intriguing featherweight tilt is set for the UFC’s upcoming event in St. Louis.
Jeremy Stephens vs. Doo Ho Choi has been added to UFC Fight Night 124, the promotion announced Thursday night.
Stephens is coming off a dominant win over former UFC lightweight title challenger Gilbert Melendez at UFC 215 in September. Prior to that, “Lil Heathen” dropped a close decision to up-and-comer Renato Moicano in April.
Choi has not fought since his 2016 “Fight of the Year” loss to Cub Swanson. He faced the veteran on the UFC 206 main card last December in Toronto, slugging it out for three rounds but ultimately losing a decision.
