Joanderson Brito ’s fired-up callout of Dan Ige finally paid off. Brito (17-3-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) will take on Ige (18-7 MMA, 10-6 UFC) in a featherweight bout at UFC Fight Night on July 20 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking, but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Ag Fight was first to report the news. After picking up a doctor’s stoppage TKO of Jack Shore at UFC 301 earlier this month, Brito used his mic time to go off on Ige. This isn’t the first time Brito calls out Ige, as the rising Brazilian contender mentioned Ige’s name all the way back in October 2022.
