“Skids can happen when you’re fighting the best guys in the world,” Kattar told MMA Junkie. “I’m sure he’ll be coming out strong like a guy looking to keep his job, and I’ll be there looking to put him away every round. (It) should make for an exciting fight on an already stacked card.”

The fight was initially scheduled to take place in March at UFC 248 but an Stephens got injured which automatically pushed the fight one month further. Both fighters seem to be at opposite points of their career but that doesn't deter Kattar, who is also coming off a loss against Zabit Magomedsharipov from bouncing back with an impressive performance.

“Jeremy asked for this fight,” Kattar said. “Currently, he’s the higher ranked fighter, so it makes sense for me. But it’s not really about who I’m fighting as much as it’s about going out and competing at the best of my abilities every time I step in there. If I’m able to do that, I’m capable of beating anyone in the division.”
