Calvin Kattar, Kyle Nelson to Clash at UFC Fight Night Event on Sept. 7

Calvin Kattar will lock horns with Kyle Nelson in a featherweight bout at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Sept. 7.

Nelson confirmed the pairing on social media following an initial report from MMAjunkie.com. The UFC Fight Night event does not have a location or headliner at this time.

Kattar has lost four of his last four promotional appearances dating back to January 2021. After an absence that spanned a year and a half, “The Boston Finisher” returned from a knee injury at UFC 300, where he dropped a unanimous decision to ex-bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling at UFC 300.

Nelson, meanwhile, is unbeaten in his last four outings. The 33-year-old Canadian was successful in his first venture of 2024, when he stopped Bill Algeo in the opening stanza at UFC on ESPN 54.Gilbert Burns vs Sean Brady Jessica Andrade vs Natalia Silva Matt Schnell vs Alessandro Costa Andre Lima vs Felipe dos Santos Jaqueline Amorim vs Vanessa Demopoulos Isaac Dulgarian vs Brendon Marotte Andre Petroski vs Dylan Budka Gabriel Santos vs Zha Yi Trevor Peek vs Yanal Ashmoz Zhu Rong vs Chris Padilla Ryan Spann vs Ovince St. Preux Marcus McGhee vs Aiemann Zahabi Zygimantas Ramaska vs Nathan Fletcher
