Just four days removed from the UFC’s first Fight Island pay-per-view, the promotion keeps rolling with its first Fight Night event in Abu Dhabi.
The UFC on ESPN 13 lineup may pale in comparison to the stacked card that took place on Saturday, but the main event promises to have an immediate impact on the featherweight title picture as Calvin Kattar, winner of four of his past six with all four of those wins coming by way of knockouts, meets Dan Ige, winner of six straight.
Featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski needs a new challenger after defeating Max Holloway a second time, and with several other 145-pound contenders standouts waiting for their next fights to be officially announced, the winner of Kattar and Ige will set the tone for determining who gets the next shot at Volkanovski.
