Kyle Nelson vs. Calvin Kattar Set for High-Stakes UFC Featherweight Clash on September 7

Kyle Nelson is set to make a significant impact in the UFC featherweight division. Sources with knowledge of the UFC’s plans have confirmed that Nelson will face established contender Calvin Kattar at an event scheduled for September 7, a detail first reported by MMA Junkie. However, the exact location and venue for this fight have not yet been disclosed.

Calvin Kattar has faced a challenging period recently, losing three consecutive fights and four out of his last five matches. His latest defeat came at the hands of former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling, who secured a dominant unanimous decision at UFC 300 in April.

This fight marked Kattar’s return to the octagon after recovering from a severe knee injury sustained in his loss to Arnold Allen in October 2022.

Kyle Nelson is riding a remarkable unbeaten streak with four straight victories heading into this crucial bout. His latest triumph came with a first-round stoppage of Bill Algeo at UFC Atlantic City in March, underscoring his preparedness for this high-stakes clash with Kattar.

This fight marks the most significant opportunity of Nelson’s career, and a victory could greatly enhance his status in the featherweight division.
