The second installment of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in New York City just added another barn burner, as rising lightweight contenders Paul Felder and Gilbert Burns will lock horns at UFC 208 on Feb. 11 from inside Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., per an announcement by UFC.
Felder, 32, has struggled to find consistency at 155 pounds since entering the promotion back in 2014. The Pennsylvania native will be fighting close to home, but Felder desperately needs a big 2017 to finally cash in on his high-level striking potential. He most recently lost to a streaking Francisco Trinaldo back at UFC Fight Night 95 via third-round TKO.
