The UFC is heading to Yas Island in Abu Dhabi this month for a series of events, and the official poster for the Calvin Kattar – Dan Ige headlined card is out.
The featherweight contenders are going to battle in the main event of the UFC’s July 15th card.
Kattar (21-4) is coming off a KO win over Jeremy Stephens in May, which returned him to the win column, after he dropped a decision to Zabit Magomedsharipov in November.
Ige (14-2), meanwhile, has won six in a row, and he’s coming off a tightly contested, split decision win over Edson Barboza in May.
As you can see below, co-headliners, Pedro Munhoz and Frankie Edgar are also featured on the poster. The former lighweight champ Edgar will be making his bantamweight debut.
