After the massive Abu Dhabi event, UFC returns to the Apex for UFC Vegas 63. In the highly exciting main event we will see No. 5 ranked featherweight Calvin Kattar clash with No. 6 ranked Arnold Allen. The winner of the five-rounder puts himself in a good position for a future title bout.
The slick boxer Kattar is 3-3 in his last six fights, with wins against Jeremy Stephens, Dan Ige and Giga Chikadze. His losses came against some of the division’s best opponents in Zabit Magomedsharipov, Max Holloway and Josh Emmett.
The well-rounded Allen has a record of 18-1, with an impressive 9-0 in the UFC. He last defeated Dan Hooker via a first-round TKO at UFC London in March.
In the co-main event, welterweights Tim Means and Max Griffin are set to clash in a three-rounder.
UFC Vegas 63 also features heavyweight Andrei Arlovski who has the most-ever wins in the divisions history. Arlovski is currently riding a four-fight winning streak.
