A barnburner of a featherweight fight is heading to UFC St. Louis.
Fan-friendly 145-pound contenders Jeremy Stephens and Doo Ho Choi have been slated to clash on Jan. 14 at UFC St. Louis. The UFC announced the booking late Thursday night.
Stephens (26-14) looks to continue his upwards momentum after scoring a ‘Fight of the Night’ win over Gilbert Melendez at UFC 215.
In total, Stephens has won six of his 11 contests since moving down from lightweight to the featherweight division in 2013, highlighted by victories over Darren Elkins, Dennis Bermudez, and former UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao.
