Dan Ige vs. Movsar Evloev in the Works for UFC Card on June 4

An intriguing featherweight showdown pitting Dan Ige against Movsar Evloev is currently in the works for an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on June 4.

ESPN was first to report the booking. The card does not have a location or headliner at this point in time. Ige vs. Evloev is close to being finalized, according to the report.

A success story from Season 1 of Dana White’s Contender Series, Ige kicked off his promotional tenure with victories in six of his first seven Octagon appearances. “50K” has fallen on hard times recently, however, losing three of his last four UFC bouts. In his last outing, Ige dropped a unanimous decision to Josh Emmett at UFC 269.

Undefeated in 15 professional fights, Evloev has emerged as one of the division’s top prospects. The former M-1 Global champion is 5-0 in UFC competition, including wins over Nik Lentz and Hakeem Dawodu in 2021. Evloev was supposed to face Ilia Topuria at UFC 270 before the Russian was forced to withdraw from the contest.
