Featherweight contenders Calvin Kattar and Dan Ige will headline the second of four events set to be held on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi on July 15. Brett Okamoto of ESPN took to social media late last night to confirm the two 145lb fighters are set to duke it out over five rounds next month, he wrote.
“Breaking: Calvin Kattar ( @CalvinKattar ) vs. Dan Ige ( @Dynamitedan808 ) will headline UFC Fight Night on July 15 at Fight Island in Abu Dhabi, per sources. Kattar coming off that highlight KO over Jeremy Stephens on May 9. Ige off a split decision over Edson Barboza.”
As Okamoto states Kattar is coming off perhaps the biggest win of his career. The 32-year-old picked up a highlight-reel knockout win against long-time contender Jeremy Stephens at UFC 249 on May 9. Prior to that he lost to Zabit Magomedsharipov but came out with immense credit for giving the Russian phenom his toughest test to date.
Ige is currently riding a six-fight win streak in the featherweight division. In his last fight he edged out former lightweight contender Edson Barboza who was making his divisional debut. The win although controversial was the biggest of his career and has earned him a headline slot and a shot at one of the best at 145lbs.

Dan Ige is willing to give Edson Barboza a rematch.
Barboza made his featherweight debut last week at UFC Florida when he took on Ige in a three-round fight. Both fighters had their moments, but many observers felt Barboza had done enough to come away with the decision victory.
In the end, two of the three judges saw it differently as Ige earned the split decision verdict to make it six wins in a row. The Brazilian, on the other hand, has now lost three in a row, with his last two being highly-debatable decision losses.
Barboza was naturally not happy. He claimed he won the fight and has even asked for the UFC to make things right by awarding him his win bonus. While Ige feels sorry for him, he also feels it’s wrong for the veteran to just state that he won the fight.
That said, he is willing to throw down with Barboza again.
“It’s kind of sad, you know, I feel kind of bad for him,” Ige told TMZ (via BJ Penn). “But I kind of think he’s doing the wrong thing to say, ‘I won this fight, I won the fight, I won the fight.’ You know, it is what it is man, it sucks, you know, sometimes we lose in the sport. But clearly he has to go back and watch the fight because I hit the dude with 95 right hands. I won rounds two and three. That’s it. He hurt me, yes he did hurt with me a body shot, the last 30 seconds of round two. But that doesn’t win you the round.
“I just feel kind of bad for him. That guy’s a legend, that guy’s been around, he’s been in the top-10, top-5 of the world for the last 10 years. I understand how bad he wants to win, but you know what, the guy for how much he’s saying he won the fight, not one person from his team has asked for a rematch. Hey, I’ll give him a rematch dude, I beat him on two weeks’ notice. Give me eight weeks and I’ll see what I can do to him.”

Edson Barboza clearly believes he won his featherweight debut. Barboza dropped down to 145 to take on Dan Ige on the main card of UFC Florida this past weekend.

Edson Barboza clearly believes he won his featherweight debut.
Barboza dropped down to 145 to take on Dan Ige on the main card of UFC Florida this past weekend. The Brazilian enjoyed a promising overall debut as he dropped and dominated Ige in the first round and ended the second round with effective ground and pound.
Ige convincingly won the third round and although he did have overall control in the second round, many felt Barboza landed the more significant strikes and should have come away with the victory.
Of course, that wasn’t the case as Ige would win a split decision putting Barboza on a three-fight losing streak with his last two losses now being highly-debatable verdicts. To make matters worse, Barboza can’t even appeal the decision as that would require accusing Ige of fraud or using illegal substances.
One way things can be made better according to him is if he gets his win bonus. The former lightweight contender also stated that he’s ready to compete in July.
“Hey @danawhite @seanshelby the whole word knows that I won that fight! Send me the win bonus and the contract for July, anyone, anywhere, anytime. I will be ready.”
It remains to be seen if Barboza will be given his win bonus.
Although it’s something that has happened in the past when fighters have lost fights they clearly won, this particular contest was still close. And given the amount of poor judging these last few events, Dana White may have to end up shelling out more than one win bonus.
Not that he can’t afford it though.
What do you think of Barboza asking for his win bonus?
Dan Ige gave Edson Barboza a war in the latter’s featherweight debut — however, many felt the Brazilian did enough to win the fight. Barboza dropped Ige early in the first round and ended the second round strongly with some solid ground and pound. However, Ige did have more success overall in the second round […]

Barboza dropped Ige early in the first round and ended the second round strongly with some solid ground and pound.
However, Ige did have more success overall in the second round and after a strong third stanza, did enough to convince two judges that he did enough to win as he eeked out the split decision victory.
