LFA champ Jeff Hughes draws Daniel Spitz in octagon debut at UFC on ESPN+ 4 in Kansas
A heavyweight bout between Jeff Hughes and Daniel Spitz is the latest addition to March’s UFC on ESPN+ 4 card.
Spitz (6-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) verified the matchup with Hughes (10-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) on social media following an initial report from FloCombat.com (via Instagram):
Next fight is signed and ready to go. March 9th, Wichita Kansas will be a beautifully violent performance. I’ll see you all in nine weeks
UFC on ESPN+ 4 takes place March 9 at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kan. The main card and early prelims stream on ESPN+.
After claiming the LFA heavyweight belt in April, Hughes, 30, got a shot to prove worth of a UFC roster spot at Dana White’s Contender Series 14 in July. He made the most of the opportunity with a first-round knockout of Josh Appelt. He’s won four consecutive fights overall dating back to his sole professional loss in December 2016.
Spitz, 28, will attempt to derail the octagon newcomer in what will be his fourth UFC appearance. “Daddy Long Legs” has alternated wins and losses during his tenure with the promotion so far, with his most recent fight ending a second-round knockout defeat against Walt Harris at UFC Fight Night 131 in June.
The latest UFC on ESPN+ 4 card now includes:
- Yana Kunitskaya vs. Marion Reneau
- Jeff Hughes vs. Daniel Spitz
