A new bantamweight bout has been confirmed for the upcoming UFC Fight Island 4 show as Danaa Batgerel will take on Kyler Phillips.
Batgerel is coming off an impressive win over Guido Cannetti at UFC 248 that saw the bantamweight score a first-round TKO. Overall, the 31-year-old has won four out of his last five fights, also beating Haitao Ti, Sukhbold Sodnomdorj, and Aldar Budanaev during his time in Mongol Fighting Championship and Baikal Fighting Championship. Batgerel’s professional record currently stands at 8 wins and 2 losses.
Phillips also has momentum coming in as the bantamweight is currently riding a two-fight winning streak thanks to his victories over Emeka Ifekandu (via KO at LFA 59) and Gabriel Silva (via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 169). Philips has only suffered one loss in his career thus far. The bantamweight’s professional record currently stands at 7 wins and 1 loss.
