Exciting UFC Featherweight contenders will collide in “H-Town.”
According to a first report from MMAFighting, surging 145-pound striker Melquizael Costa will return to action versus hard-nosed veteran Dan Ige. The duo will throw down at UFC Houston, which is scheduled for Feb. 21 inside the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
The Ige matchup will be the 29-year-old Brazilian’s fifth fight in 12 months.
Really, this is a perfect bit of 145-pound matchmaking. Costa has earned his opportunity against a ranked opponent, and Ige has proven more than capable in separating the wheat from the chaff as a perfect guard to the highest echelon of Featherweight competition.
Who takes home the victory?
