Canadian bantamweight Brad “Superman” Katona is set to fight American Jesse Butler on Jun. 8, first reported by Iridium Sports Agency on Thursday.
Katona, out of Winnipeg, is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Garrett Armfield at UFC 297 in Toronto. The Ultimate Fighter winner is now 3-3 in the UFC and 15-3 professionally.
Meanwhile, Butler hasn’t stepped into the octagon since June 2023 when he lost to Jim Miller via TKO just 23 seconds into the first round. It was his only UFC contest to date, holding a professional record of 12-5. Butler has had two scheduled fights since then but withdrew from the one in August and then could not compete in November due to injury.
The fight and event these two bantamweights will compete at have yet to be officially announced by the UFC.
