Octagon action returns to Abu Dhabi for a rejigged featherweight clash that now pits two of MMA's rising talents against each other. Follow our guide as we explain how to watch UFC Fight Night 172 online and live stream Calvin Kattar vs Dan Ige tonight no matter where you are in the world.
UFC Fight Night: Calvin Kattar vs Dan Ige
UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs Ige takes place on Wednesday July 15, on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.. The main card starts around 10pm ET / 7pm PT in the US and 3am BST in the UK. A great value BT Sport Monthly Pass lets you watch every UFC event including PPVs for just £25 in the UK, while in the US a FREE Sling Orange trial will get you access to ESPN and therefore today's card.
The co-headline fight for tonight's event event had been a clash between bantamweights Frankie Edgar and Pedro Munhoz, but that showdown has been postponed to August 15th at UFC 252 following Munhoz's positive test for Covid-19.
That leaves the main focus on what should be an exciting featherweight battle between two emerging UFC fighters.
Calvin Kattar (21-4, 5-2 in the UFC) comes in to the fight off the back of an impressive TKO dispatch of Jeremy Stephens. The 32-year-old American has won three of his past four visits to the octagon and currently finds himself No. 8 in the featherweight rankings.
The fight marks Dan Ige's (14-2, 6-1 in the UFC) first main event. The 28-year-old is on a six-fight win streak, the most recent being a tense split decision over Edson Barboza back in May. Read on as we explain how to watch UFC Fight Night 172 online and live stream Kattar vs Ige from anywhere in the world.
