A featherweight match-up has been added to the UFC Fight Night card on September 5 as Brian Kelleher will take on Ricky Simon at the event.
Kelleher’s two-fight winning streak was snapped by Cody Stamann at UFC 250. Prior to the devastating loss, the featherweight beat Hunter Azure (via KO at UFC Fight Night: Smith vs. Teixeira) and Ode Osbourne (via submission at UFC 246). Kelleher’s professional record currently stands at 21 wins and 11 losses.
Ricky Simon is coming off an impressive victory over Ray Borg at UFC Fight Night 171. The much needed win snapped his two-fight losing streak as the featherweight suffered back-to-back losses against Urijah Faber (via TKO at UFC Fight Night 155) and Rob Font (via unanimous decision at UFC on ESPN 7). Still, Simon has a solid record as he’s won three out of his last five fights, also dropping Montel Jackson (via unanimous decision at UFC 227) and Rani Yahya (via unanimous decision at UFC 234). His professional record currently stands at 16 wins and 3 losses.
