ESPN Staff writer Brett Okamoto reported on Wednesday that the UFC is in the process of arranging a featherweight bout between Dan Ige and Lerone Murphy in February. The fight is set to take place at a UFC Fight Night event on Feb. 10 in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, middleweights Jack Hermansson and Joe Pyfer have been announced as the headliners for the event by UFC CEO Dana White. Ige, a native of Hawaii, has been a fixture in the UFC’s featherweight rankings for several years, although he has not yet competed for a title. On the other hand, Murphy, from England, has never lost in his professional career and is currently on a five-fight win streak in the UFC. Both fighters are ranked No. 13 and No. 14 in the UFC’s featherweight rankings, respectively.
