A featherweight showdown between Mike Santiago and Dan Ige has been added to the UFC 225 bill.
The Las Vegas-based promotion recently announced the matchup. UFC 225 takes place at the United Center in Chicago on June 9 and is headlined by a middleweight championship bout between Robert Whittaker and Yoel Romero.
Santiago got his start in the Octagon thanks to a first-round knockout of Mark Cherico on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series 7 on Aug. 22. The 28-year-old Illinois native is still looking for his first promotional triumph after falling to Zabit Magomedsharipov and Mads Burneel in his first two appearances.
