Brad Katona to Fight Hunter Azure at UFC Vancouver

Canadian Brad Katona will have another fight in home territory.

The 27-year-old Katona (8-1) will take on Hunter Azure (7-0) at bantamweight, with the latter making his promotional debut, at UFC Fight Night 158.

Katona suffered his first professional loss at UFC Fight Night 151 in May, dropping a decision to Merab Dvalishvili. Before that, "Superman" had beaten both Jay Cucciniello and Matthew Lopez by decision. His win over Cucciniello won him "The Ultimate Fighter 27" at the featherweight division. Although he is from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Katona does train in Ireland at SBG Ireland under head coach John Kavanagh.
