Just days after the UFC‘s debut on Fight Island, another night of fights goes down and we will have UFC on ESPN 13 results throughout the night. At the top of the bill in the main event, a couple of featherweight contenders face off as they look to climb the rankings. Coming off a spectacular performance against Jeremy Stephens, Calvin Kattar makes his return to the octagon. His opponent will be Hawaii‘s Dan Ige who is coming off the biggest win of his young career.
Kattar’s last fight took place at UFC 249 when he faced off against Stephens. After a unanimous decision loss to Zabit Magomedsharipov, Kattar looked to get back to his winning ways. He defeated Stephens that night, finishing him in the second round by TKO as he ended the fight with an elbow. As for Ige, he has not lost since he made his UFC debut against Julio Arce at UFC 220. Since then, he has put together a record of 6-0 in the octagon. Some of his more recent wins include decision wins over Kevin Aguilar and Mirsad Bektic. In his last outing, he welcomed longtime lightweight, Edson Barboza, to the featherweight division. After a hard fought three rounds, Ige took the controversial split decision for the biggest win of his career. Both men look to climb closer to the top five of the division with a win on Wednesday.
