However, Brundage shouldn't be underestimated, as he has won his last four fights, all via first-round stoppages. This bout is sure to deliver fireworks.
Calvin Kattar and Aljamain Sterling Go Head to Head
The third fight announced by Dana White is between Calvin Kattar and Aljamain Sterling. Former Bantamweight champion Sterling is looking to bounce back after his defeat to Sean O'Malley. Prior to that, Sterling had a nine-fight winning streak and defended his title three times. Meanwhile, Kattar has experienced some setbacks with three losses in his last four fights. Both fighters will be hungry for a victory.
Will Conor McGregor Make an Appearance?
