Hyder Amil vs. Jeong Yeong Lee Added to UFC Fight Night Card on July 20

A bantamweight clash between two promising prospects has been added to the UFC Fight Night event set to go down at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on July.

Hyder Amil (9-0) will meet Road to UFC 2022 featherweight winner Jeong Yeong Lee (11-1) in his second promotional outing. The news was first reported by Euro Sport NL’s Marcel Dorff in a post to X (formerly known as Twitter). The bout was laterconfirmed by both fighters on their social media handles.

Sporting an undefeated record, Hyder Amil will enter the Octagon fresh off the heels of a Round 2 technical knockout victory over Fernie Garcia in his promotional debut at UFC Fight Night 236 this past February. The California native earned an Ultimate Fighting Championship contract thanks to a unanimous decision win over Emrah Sonmez in his appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2023.

Meanwhile, Lee made his way to the promotion via the Road to UFC Asia route after defeating Zha Yi in the featherweight tournament finals in February 2023. “The Korean Tiger” recently returned to action after a year off and walked away with a unanimous decision victory over Blake Bilder at UFC Fight Night 235.
