On Wednesday, July 15, the UFC hosted the second event from “Fight Island” as it again visits the Flash Forum on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The event once again featured no fans in attendance due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the night’s main event, featherweight contenders collided as Boston’s Calvin Kattar met Hawaii’s Dan Ige. The 32-year-old Kattar had won three of his last four inside the Octagon, including a second-round stoppage of Jeremy Stephens at UFC 249 in May. After dropping his promotion debut, Ige had reeled off six straight wins. He most recently edged Brazil’s Edson Barboza on the scorecards in May.
The event kicked off with the preliminary card airing live on ESPN at 7 p.m. ET. The main card followed at 10 p.m. ET, also on ESPN.
