After new deal, Calvin Kattar ready ‘to take souls’ beginning with Dan Ige in July 15 headliner

Calvin Kattar is heading into his second UFC main event with a brand new deal.

“The Boston Finisher” will take on Dan Ige in the featherweight headliner of the UFC’s July 15 event on “Fight Island” located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.

When the booking was announced, it was met with excitement and some surprise. For his part, Kattar hoped to get a top-five opponent following his second-round finish of Jeremy Stephens at UFC 249.

But with top billing and a few extra bucks in his bank account, Kattar is excited for the challenge.
